President Joe Biden irked his left flank by moving slowly to alter Donald Trump’s refugee cap, and he appears poised to again draw fire from liberals as he avoids issuing a federal moratorium on capital punishment.

Biden’s dithering before raising Trump’s record-low refugee cap, a campaign promise, left the president vulnerable to criticism from other Democrats. And the delay in taking action regarding federal executions, another campaign pledge, opens him up to similar scrutiny from activists who helped him win the White House last year.
