Good Friday morning. Here are some of the stories making news in Washington and politics today.

• There are signs of a disconnect between support for Joe Biden in polls and excitement for his campaign on the ground in Iowa. Polls show him well ahead of his Democratic rivals and winning in hypothetical matchups against President Trump. But an enthusiasm problem may be brewing, with voters saying “he’s doing O.K.,” but only because he’s recognizable.

• Stephanie Grisham, the new White House press secretary and communications director, is the latest example of Mr. Trump’s tendency to place loyalty and an embrace of his unorthodox style ahead of experience and credentials when filling top jobs.

• Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the former press secretary, will join Fox News as a contributor next month, reinforcing the strong ties between the conservative cable network and the Trump administration.
