A large part of the appeal that enabled Joe Biden to win the presidency was his promise to end the Trump administration’s often disruptive practices and restore normalcy to Washington.
In many ways, he has succeeded, in part because of his low-key, businesslike approach toward managing the government and his restoration of the traditional means of dealing with Congress and the states.
But his administration has sometimes seemed slow in responding to those unexpected events all presidents confront. The latest is the discovery of classified documents in an office he once used, his Delaware garage and his home.
