MNI POLITICAL RISK - Biden To Sign Exec Order On Border Today

Executive Summary:

  • President Biden will today sign an executive order allowing the White House to partially close the US-Mexico border if migrant crossings exceed a certain level - a play to neuter one of Biden’s most signifcant political vulnerabilities. With migrant crossings expected to rise again in the summer, it is imperative Biden has a concrete border deliverable to tout during the June 27 presidential debate with former President Donald Trump.
  • Biden administration officials said Hamas is the primary obstacle to implementation of a three-phase Gaza ceasefire plan outlined by President Biden on Friday.
  • President Biden will depart this evening for France where he will participate in D-Day 80th anniversary commemorations before attending his first State Visit to France. Biden will deliver a speech on June 7 where he is expected to warn of the threat to NATO posed by a second Trump administration.
  • Vice President Kamala Harris and White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan will attend the upcoming Summit on Peace in Ukraine taking place in Lucerne, Switzerland on June 15 - a blow for Kyiv who petitioned for Biden's attendence.
  • Democrats may have another unexpected problem in a reliably blue Senate race this year after federally indicted Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) confirmed yesterday that he will run for re-election as an independent in New Jersey.
  • Poll of the Day: Telegraph experts believe Trump's guilty verdict in Manhattan hands the edge to President Biden.
