Biden Faces Rough Month as Debt Talks, Potential Border Surge Loom

WASHINGTON—President Biden is staring down a rough month just as his re-election campaign is getting off the ground.

The White House faces a series of wrenching issues that could weaken his political standing and distract from his effort to sell his accomplishments, including a clash with Republicans over raising the debt ceiling and an expected surge of migrants along the U.S. southern border as the pandemic-era Title 42 policy comes to an end May 11. The recent seizure of another failing bank could add to voters’ uncertainty about the health of the economy.
