I often find Jason Riley columns thought-provoking, but I disagree with his latest. The NYT wrote many stories about the Biden immigration surge before the election, starting in 2021 and through Oct. 2024. A partial list of links is below.

Harris has many strengths. A successful prosecutor. Excellent in debates and Senate hearings. Solid at giving speeches. But they don't add up to being a presidential nominee who maximizes a party's chances of victory.

What a run for Ian. We are really sorry to lose him — but proud and excited that The Boston Globe has hired him for this role. Sign up if you care about Boston or New England!

The numbers matter too. The two countries that border Denmark — Germany and Sweden — each have a foreign-born population of 20%, not 12%. Germany and Sweden have weak center lefts and strong far rights. Denmark has a center-left government and a hobbled far right.
