Other GOP efforts to define Biden as a radical or to attack his mental acuity also didn't resonate. Some Republicans argue it will simply take time for the GOP to organize against Biden, given the honeymoon period most new presidents enjoy. All the while, the Biden White House is underscoring its attempts at bipartisanship, putting the Republicans on the defensive for not signing onto the broadly popular COVID relief bill.

Trump books will continue after Trump leaves office

NEW YORK – One of publishing's most thriving genres of the past four years, books about President Donald Trump, is not going to end when he leaves office.

Any publisher signing with Trump or a top administration official might face the anger not just of Trump critics among the general public, but from within the industry.

Under Trump, US no longer leads world on refugee protections

Democrat Joe Biden promises to raise the annual refugee cap to 125,000 if he wins Nov. 3. As many as 1,000 refugees who were ready to travel now may not be eligible because they don't fit into one of the categories, said Mark Hetfield, president of HIAS, a refugee resettlement group. For example, many Syrians may no longer qualify because no category is for those fleeing war, he said. The Trump administration also has rolled back other humanitarian protections, like Temporary Protected Status for 400,000 immigrants fleeing natural disasters or violence. Across the globe, an Iraqi woman whose father helped the U.S. military does not know why her case stalled.

Foreign students show less zeal for US since Trump took over

Before the election, The Associated Press is examining some of his immigration policies, including restrictions on international students. Roughly 5.3 million students study outside their home countries, a number that’s more than doubled since 2001. The pandemic has only exacerbated things, including a short-lived Trump administration rule requiring international students to leave if their schools held online-only classes. The Trump administration has floated curtailing Optional Practical Training, a popular program allowing international students to work. NAFSA estimated that since 2016, the decline of new international students cost the U.S. nearly $12 billion and at least 65,000 jobs.

Top Trump adviser wants more nations to field asylum claims

Critics note asylum-seekers are sent to countries with high levels of violence and poverty and little infrastructure to handle asylum claims. The coronavirus struck before flights began to Honduras and El Salvador, putting those launches on hold. Biden has pledged to undo many, but not all, of Trump’s policies. With the pandemic and other issues, it is unclear how much appetite Biden would have to tackle all that Trump has done. Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were under heavy U.S. pressure to acquiesce last year, with Trump threatening at times to cut off international aid.

Aides were discussing a potential photo opportunity with the president at the White House either Thursday or Friday but plans had not been finalized, according to two White House officials not authorized to publicly discuss internal deliberations.

Democrat Warren vows to use 'every tool' to combat white nationalist violence

Senator Elizabeth Warren said on Tuesday if elected to the White House she would use every tool at her disposal to combat white nationalist violence, beginning with directing the FBI and Justice Department to put a renewed focus on domestic terrorism. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) speaks at a SEA/SEIU Local 1984 Member Town Hall in Concord, New Hampshire, U.S., November 13, 2019. The White House has defended Miller, telling the New York Times that SPLC libels, slanders and defames conservatives.Warren said the nearly 18,000 police and law enforcement agencies in the United States should adopt standard metrics to track hate crimes and white nationalist groups. Warren said she would direct the National Counterterrorism Center to work with international partners to investigate white supremacist violence, and when white nationalist groups are deemed a threat elsewhere she will direct the State Department to add them to its list of foreign terrorist organizations. Senators Kamala Harris and Cory Booker are among Warrens White House rivals who have put out their own plans for dealing what they respectively called domestic terrorism and white supremacist violence.

New U.S. rule could disqualify half of visa applicants

REUTERS/Jorge Duenes(Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trumps administration unveiled a new rule on Monday that could deny permanent residency to hundreds of thousands of people for being too poor. Under the new rules, more than half of all family-based green card applicants would be denied, according to the Migration Policy Institute, a research organization. The new rule is derived from the Immigration Act of 1882, which allows the U.S. government to deny a visa to anyone likely to become a public charge. Immigration officers in recent years have defined visa applicants as a public charge if they are likely to become primarily dependent on government assistance. Most nonresident immigrants are ineligible for the major aid programs until they get green cards, but the new rule published by the Department of Homeland Security expands the definition of a public charge that stands to disqualify more people. Applicants will now need to show higher levels of income to get a visa, and the rule greatly expands the list of government benefits that would disqualify them from obtaining U.S. residency.
