President Biden extended the invitation to his former rival as part of a longstanding tradition to help ease the transition to a new administration.

Coaxing aging Supreme Court justices to give up their power and status during a window of political opportunity can be a delicate endeavor.

The vice president vacillated on how to talk about the economy, and ended up adopting marginal pro-business tweaks that both corporate and progressive allies agreed made for a muddled message.

The Democratic Party agrees it needs to figure out what went wrong. The question is how.

The president-elect held his first formal transition meetings and has been given lists of candidates, but is calling around to friends and allies for ideas.

President-elect Donald J. Trump and his allies have pledged to strike fear in the heart of what they term “the deep state.” They have already succeeded.

Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, who is on track to win re-election in a rural Washington district, says her party needs to stop demonizing others and change the candidates it supports.

Donald J. Trump won votes from Arab Americans and conservative pro-Israel Jews. Someone is likely to be disappointed.

By seeking re-election, Biden deprived Harris of months of campaigning that might have helped her.

Corporations and foreign governments are offering to pay steep prices for help dealing with the unpredictable president-elect.
