In recent weeks the President has faced a number of crises and the coming weeks will set the stage for next year’s congressional elections. The fallout from the US’s exit from Afghanistan raised questions about Mr Biden while he also faced a crisis back home in the form of Hurricane Ida, which ravaged several cities including New York and New Jersey, and left 57 dead and four missing.

The US commander-in-chief will today make a trip to the worst-impacted areas as he visits Manville, New Jersey, and Queens, New York, to survey storm damage.

Repercussions are also ringing in the fallout after the Supreme Court did not respond to an emergency appeal by abortion providers, meaning Texas passed a law banning abortion from as early as six weeks.

Opportunity for victory narrowing

Biden wants to fight back against a ban on most abortions in Texas, but the White House could face some problems as it is heavily reliant on Congress for action. 

The Democrats have a thin majority and need 6o votes to pass relevant legislation to the Senate, meaning the president’s opportunities for victory are narrowing.

Biden told to stop interfering with Brexit

Joe Biden is also being warned to stop interfering in Brexit. 

Lord David Trimble, the former leader of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), has written to the President urging him to stop “political uncertainty” and damage to “the Northern Ireland economy” caused by post-Brexit trade compromises with the EU.

Abortion clinics will be protected say Justice Department

The US Justice Department confirmed it would protect people seeking or providing abortions in Texas.

He added the department would “not tolerate violence against those seeking to obtain or provide reproductive health services.”

Another storm on the horizon

Hurricane Larry began about 715 miles off the Northern Leeward Islands. 

Although it is predicted to remain out at sea in the Atlantic, the Hurricane is expected to cause “significant swells” along the U.S East Coast from midweek until the weekend, according to  National Weather Service meteorologist Lara Pagano.

“These swells will likely cause life-threatening surf and rip-conditions so beach-goers are urged to follow the guidance of lifeguards and local officials,” Pagano said.

The Coast Guard along the Gulf Coast said it was probing nearly 350 reports of oil spills in the wake of Ida, including a 14-mile long spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
