- President Biden on Thursday called on former President Trump to put aside politics and let Republicans vote on the Senate's bipartisan border security bill that he lobbied against.
"Instead of telling members of Congress to block this legislation, join me," President Biden said from the southern border in Brownsville, Texas. "Or I'll join you in telling the Congress to pass this bipartisan border security bill. We can do it together. You know and I know, it's the toughest, most efficient, most effective border security bill this country's ever seen."
Mr. Trump was at the southern border at the same time, about 300 miles away in Eagle Pass, where he met with Texas officials, including Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, and placed the blame for the migrant crisis on his successor, accusing him of allowing criminals and drugs to pour across the border.

- President Biden joked about his age on Monday after Special Counsel Robert Hur's classified documents report called him a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."
"I know it doesn't look like it, but I've been around a while. I do remember that," the president said to laughter in remarks before the National Association of Counties.
In a report released Thursday, the special counsel concluded the president "willfully retained" classified materials, but declined to bring charges, saying the president would likely present himself to a jury "as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."
The president's jokey demeanor on Monday was a sharp departure from his fiery rebuttal on Thursday night, in which he criticized the special counsel for raising questions about his memory, taking particular issue with Mr. Hur's assertion that he did not remember when his son Beau died.
