• Seeking to remedy a recent campaign gaff when she told MSNBC’s ‘The View’ that she wouldn’t have done anything differently to Biden, Harris told Baier: "My presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden's presidency..."
• Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will deliver a speech today at the Council on Foreign Relations, warning that Trump’s economic plan would fuel inflation and harm business.
• Trump sought to downplay some of the more hardline elements of his immigration agenda at a town hall in Miami hosted by the Spanish language network, Univision.
• The US escalated its involvement in the Middle East crisis yesterday with a strike on weapons storage sites associated with the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen.
• Biden will depart today for Germany to meet with European leaders and shore up support for Ukraine. The trip is likely to be Biden's last to Europe while president.
