When Washington Calls for Firings, Biden Usually Says No

WASHINGTON—Donald Trump built his reputation on firing people. Joe Biden has given his team extraordinary job security.

In crisis after crisis over the past three years, President Biden has resisted pressure to fire members of his administration. The president rejected calls for the ouster of national security advisers following the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. He has declined to push out cabinet secretaries or senior aides in response to the rise in migrants illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, or revamp his political campaign amid poor polling.
