Biden heads to France for D-Day anniversary, democracy speech
President Joe Biden heads to France on Tuesday to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day on a trip designed to underscore his commitment to U.S. allies in Europe and contrast his vision of democracy with his 2024 political opponent, Donald Trump. Biden departs on Tuesday evening for five days in France that will include D-Day celebrations in Normandy, where U.S. and allied forces stormed French beaches in an attack that helped defeat Nazi Germany in World War II, as well as a high-profile speech and a formal state visit with President Emmanuel Macron. "That war (WWII) showed the world the value of strong alliances and partnerships, which is a lesson that continues to resonate today in Europe and well beyond," White House spokesperson John Kirby told reporters on Tuesday.

Throughout the deepest playoff run for Dallas in 13 years, the reflective side of Irving has surfaced frequently, stopping short of mea culpas but making clear he's learned a lot along the way.
