DePauw University professor and media critic Jeffrey McCall says it's a "miscalculation" for Team Biden to make the first lady a campaign surrogate, at least one with a heavier media presence than the candidate himself.
"Voters can surely infer she is only doing the interviews because the president can’t or won’t," McCall told Fox News Digital.
The country began to see the effects of President Trump’s policies in his second week in office, with the White House implementing tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China; border crossings plummeting; DEI programs shuttering; the federal workforce being faced with the decision to return to the office or to resign; and more.
