Good morning, Mara. Good morning, Aisha. Biden is scheduled to get back at 3.30 Eastern. What stood out to you from this trip? What stood out to me was the implicit criticism of Donald Trump in Biden's speeches in Europe. He made a strong defense of democracy. He framed the choice facing the West today as democracy versus dictatorship. He went to the same cemetery in France that President Trump had skipped a visit to in 2018. Reportedly, Trump said at the time that the people who were buried there were suckers and losers. Later, his former chief of staff, John Kelly, confirmed that.
