Welcome to The Daily 202! Tell your friends to sign up here. On this day in 
1952, President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower traveled to Korea, keeping a 
campaign promise to visit in person in an attempt to find an end to the 
Korean War. The conflict was suspended with an armistice in 1953. 
The big idea 
Victory over the pandemic could look like victory in the war on 
terrorism: Vague

President Biden's definition of victory over the pandemic used to be 
fairly simple: Smother the virus, revive the economy, get things back to 
normal, or at least something approximating what we used to think of as 
normal. But the rise of the delta variant and its omicron successor have 
thwarted Biden and raised anew the question of just what counts as 
defeating the coronavirus. 
The answer carries sweeping ramifications, not least for Democratic 
prospects of rescuing their wafer-thin majorities in Congress in the 
2022 midterm elections, which would be defined by voter frustration that 
the president has fallen short on both fronts if they were held today. 
White House officials declined to spell out how Biden now defines 
the end of the pandemic, which has claimed nearly 780,000 lives on 
U.S. soil. They may be looking back warily at the president's July 4 
speech in which he declared "independence from a deadly virus" right as 
the delta variant began its deadly surge and Republicans ramped up their 
opposition to various tactics for mitigating covid's spread. 
AN INSTRUCTIVE COMPARISON 
But the administration could, perhaps, draw on lessons from the so-called 
"war on terrorism" and a curious stretch of the 2004 presidential race in 
which rah-rah-U-S-A-U-S-A sloganeering briefly gave way to a nuanced 
understanding of the conditions that would qualify as victory. 
In August 2004, President George W. Bush acknowledged in an interview 
with NBC's Today Show that he couldn't predict a "definite end" to the war 
that began on 9/11. And the commander in chief known the world over for 
his black-and-white rhetoric gave a remarkably gray-shaded answer to the 
question of whether the United States could ever decisively win.

"I don't think you can win it," Bush said. "But I think you can create 
conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable 
in parts of the world — let's put it that way." 
The Republican's camp quickly backpedaled from that assessment. 
In October, it was Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kerry's turn to 
take fire for a similarly nuanced assessment, this time delivered to Matt Bai 
of the New York Times. 
Victory over extremists, the former senator and future secretary of state 
told Matt, means getting back to a place "where terrorists are not the 
focus of our lives, but they're a nuisance." 
"I know we're never going to end prostitution. We're never going to end 
illegal gambling," the former prosecutor told the Times. "But we're going to 
reduce it, organized crime, to a level where it isn't on the rise. It isn't 
threatening people's lives every day, and fundamentally, it's something 
that you continue to fight, but it's not threatening the fabric of your 
life." 
Cue GOP expressions of outrage, Kerry backpedaling, etc. But it's hard to 
look back from the perspective of 2021 and not think Kerry and Bush 
EFTA00162767
were on to something. Terrorism hasn't vanished from the earth. al-
Qaeda, its offshoots, and ISIS are still out there. America still dedicates 
billions and billions of dollars to battling extremists. 
But the proportion of Americans who list terrorism as their uppermost 
concern has — apart from notable spikes after major attacks — fallen 
sharply since 9/11. (Gallup found 83 percent of voters in 2020 said 
"terrorism and national security" were important, but that number doesn't 
differentiate between voters who fear China's rise and those focused on 
ISIS.) 
At an anecdotal level, when is the last time you consciously thought of the 
risk of terrorist attack as you took part in the security theater that is 
removing your shoes at the airport? 
OMICRON 
It's too soon to say how dangerous the omicron variant will be. The 
past two years have primed experts for a prepare-for-the-worst strategy 
and if the worst doesn't materialize, so much the better. 
is] 
"Experts cautioned that the flurry of activity to fight omicron may turn out to 
be largely unnecessary, as researchers learn in the coming days whether 
current vaccines can ward off the variant or successfully limit symptoms," 
my colleagues Dan Diamond, Joel Achenbach, Chico Harlan and Lesley 
Wroughton reported this weekend. 
And, as my colleagues Annie Linskey and Fenit Nirappil reported today: 
"[A]fter nearly 21 months of covid-19 restrictions, there is little appetite in 
the country for the kinds of school closures, indoor gathering bans and 
restaurant restrictions that defined the early days of the pandemic, 
EFTA00162768
according to health officials, who say that the political will to push for 
unpopular — but effective — mitigation measures is waning." 
(An administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, placed 
special emphasis on getting the tens of millions of unvaccinated Americans 
to get their shots, emphasizing: "We must use the tools we know work and 
will save American lives.") 
Which gets us back to what constitutes victory over coronavirus, if such a 
thing is possible. 
"The pandemic will end at different times for different people," Ashish 
Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, told The Daily 
202. "For most people, it'll end when they wake up one day and 
realize 'you know, I haven't thought about covid in weeks.' It'll come to 
everyone at a different time, depending on their circumstances." 
"That day is coming, and I think that day is coming sometime next year," 
said Jha, who emphasized the world has many more tools to battle covid 
now than it did in 2020. 
"If we have to tweak our vaccines, we'll tweak our vaccines. If we have to 
make other adjustments, we'll make other adjustments. We can now get to 
a point where we can manage the virus, rather than have the virus really 
dominate our society," he added. 
"It's not just going away. It won't just disappear," said Jha. "But we 
can manage it." 
That sounds familiar.

EFTA00162771
"Across Atlanta, a city at a political and cultural crossroads, plenty of 
residents made the same decision [not to vote]. A year after residents 
voted in historic numbers to help 'turn Georgia blue,' fewer than 3 out 10 
turned out for the mayor's race, despite the widespread desire for a 
leader who can help the city rebound from a year of setbacks " Tim 
Craig  and Vanessa Williams report. 
"The weak turnout on Nov. 2 has worried the mayoral candidates 
competing in a runoff campaign, which will be decided Tuesday. And it 
surprised political analysts, who say voter fatigue could hinder the 
Democratic Party's efforts to oust Gov. Brian P. Kemp (R) and reelect Sen.

Omicron coronavirus variant poses `very high' global risk, 
WHO warns 
"'The likelihood of potential further spread of Omicron at the global 
level is high,' the WHO said Sunday in a preliminary technical brief," 
Annabelle Timsit reports.
• Where to watch: The variant was first identified in North America 
over the weekend as two cases were documented in Canada. 
Omicron was first detected in South Africa, and it has been found in 
countries ranging from Australia to Israel, Botswana to Britain. 
• Border closing deja vu: 
a "The United States, Canada, Britain, the European Union and 
others have moved in recent days to restrict travel from at least 
seven countries in southern Africa," Timsit reports. 
o "Japan announced it would bar entry of all foreign visitors, while 
new cases of the variant identified days ago by researchers in 
South Africa appeared in places such as Hong Kong and 
Australia. New cases in Portugal and Scotland might already 
point toward local spread of the variant outside of southern 
Africa," the Associated Press's Raf Cased and Mari Yamaguchi 
report. 
• Tempering fears: "What's known so far absolutely warrants 
attention —not panic. Viruses mutate; they always do. Not all 
variants of concern turn out to be, well, all that concerning; many end 
up being mere blips in the pandemic timeline " the Atlantic's 
Katherine J. Wu explains.

Biden pushes shots, not more restrictions as variant spreads 
"Biden will urge Americans to get vaccinated and receive a booster shot as 
he seeks to quell concerns Monday over the new COVID-19 variant 
omicron, but won't immediately push for more restrictions to stop its 
spread, his chief medical adviser said," the AP's Zeke Miller reports.
Dems want Biden to start swinging at Republicans. Allies aren't 
sure he can. 
"It has long been a point of tension within the president's orbit as to how 
negative to go. A number of senior advisers in the West Wing, including 
chief of staff Ron Klain, have at times urged Biden to embrace more 
partisan political combat and call out Republicans when needed, according 
to three aides not authorized to publicly discuss private conversations," 
Politico's  Laura Barron-Lopez  Christopher Cadelago and Jonathan 
Lemire report. 
"But Biden has largely shied away from leveling broadsides at Republicans 
on Capitol Hill, though he's been less sparing with his predecessor and 
GOP governors who've stood in the way of federal aid to combat the 
pandemic. Long-time Biden observers and confidants aren't sure that 
the attack dog role suits him, or that he will commit to it." 
As China speeds up nuclear arms race, the U.S. wants to talk 
EFTA00162774
"For the first time, the United States is trying to nudge China's leadership 
into a conversation about its nuclear capability. U.S. officials, describing 
the American strategy, say Mr. Biden and his top aides plan to move 
slowly — focusing the talks first on avoiding accidental conflict, then on 
each nation's nuclear strategy and the related instability that could come 
from attacks in cyberspace and outer space,"  the NYT's David E. Sanger 
and William J. Broad report. 
Supreme Court justices on abortion and 
Roe v. Wade, visualized 
"The Supreme Court on Dec. 1 will consider the most serious challenge in 
decades to its 1973 decision" that there is a constitutional right to abortion. 
"All nine of the justices declined during their confirmation hearings to opine 
on whether Roe v. Wade was properly decided, but past court rulings, 
public appearances and other public comments give insight into their 
thinking on abortion and court precedents." Read more on what they have 
said about it. 
Hot on the left 
The forgotten pandemic roars back to life 
"The real danger from COVID exists far from American shores. Compared 
to the rest of the world, the U.S. is delivering more vaccines, and planning 
to build manufacturing capacity to go even further. But Biden has put little 
into building research and detection capacity, to prevent a worldwide 
mutation. And after agreeing to seek a global waiver of vaccine intellectual 
property to spur more production of the vital medications in April, Biden 
EFTA00162775
has barely talked about it, and certainly not pushed the Europeans 
(primarily Germany) who are resistant. In his statement on Omicron, Biden 
reiterated his support for instituting the waiver at an upcoming World Trade 
Organization ministerial, but that meeting was postponed because of 
omicron, in a darkly ironic exemplification of global inaction " the 
American Prospect's Executive Editor David Dayen writes.

`They're all begging me': Trump's 2024 veep tryouts get

"[Trump has] name-dropped Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as one possible

of State Mike Pompeo at his Mar-a-Lago club," Politico's Marc Caputo 
reports. 
"'They're all begging me. They all come here," Trump boasted to one 
adviser, who shared the account anonymously with Politico."
