By the end, he and fellow Democrats had secured a series of victories in Congress, staved off the customary midterm election massacre and beat back skeptics within the party, helped by a resilient job market and receding inflation. It’s left Biden in a buoyant mood heading into 2023, emboldened and all but certain, at age 80, to announce a reelection bid soon.

CLIMATE SCIENCE Leaves the Lab
A chemist at Stockholm University first scrawled out equations describing the greenhouse effect in 1896.
