Joe Biden, at the US Capitol during his inauguration, confidently proclaimed, 'Democracy has prevailed.' Three and a half years later, he presents a starkly diminished image, reflecting a presidency overshadowed by challenges.
Biden's admirers consider him one of the most consequential one-term presidents, citing his achievements like job creation and pandemic recovery, but high inflation and illegal immigration plagued his tenure.
Charlie Sykes noted, 'It's hard to escape the conclusion that... Biden ultimately failed to meet the political moment or the essential mission of his presidency,' highlighting the idea that he couldn't stop Trump's return.
As Biden's term concludes, a sense of inevitability looms: 'the old maxim that all political lives end in failure will hover over him,' underscoring the complex legacy of his presidency.
