The federal government has not been able to reach these children, but this was an issue under Trump as well.

There's a very specific reason Trump keeps repeating the number 88 over and over again

Can people start pushing him for proof of his claims, to his face and on camera.

Agreed. This is on the media, as much as it's on the dollar store dictator. Do better.

Did he use 14 words to say it?

Were they eaten by sharks or electrocuted?

Can journalists of respectable outlets please just put the conclusion in the headline? Those that briefly read headlines (90 percent of readers) will now assume that Biden lost 88,000 children. Even worse behind a paywall.
