Biden's reelection prospects threatened by debt, border, and other challenges.

President Joe Biden is facing a series of daunting challenges that could pose a near-existential test of his path to a second term. These include a showdown with Congress over the debt limit, a frenzied scene at the border, and a pivotal foreign trip meant to sustain support for Ukraine and contain a more assertive China in the Indo-Pacific. Biden's ability to solve these problems is central to his argument for why he's best prepared for four more years in the White House. However, economists warn that the country faces a debilitating recession if Biden and lawmakers can't agree on a path to raising the debt limit.
