As discussed at length in today’s Morning Jolt, last night President Biden told Democratic donors at the Manhattan home of James and Kathryn Murdoch that the risk of nuclear “Armageddon” is at the highest level since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, because of the war in Ukraine.

This morning, the White House released Biden’s schedule for the day. He will tour Volvo Group Powertrain Operations in Hagerstown, Md., shortly after noon, and then give remarks on “building the economy.” From there Biden will travel to Philadelphia, and then he will go to Wilmington, Del., where he will remain over the weekend.

Does that seem like the schedule of a president who is facing down “Armageddon”?
