New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) appears to see the writing on the wall in a potential GOP presidential primary. So why can’t he and other lower-tier candidates just get out of the way now?

Longtime Amtrak rider President Biden returned Monday to a spot he’s been in hundreds of times: the Baltimore and Potomac Tunnel.
