Joe Biden remains nominally the most powerful person in the world, but for some time now he has been fading away, spending his final months in the White House like a ghost stiff, wan, often unseen by the public.
Biden will now be remembered as the champion of the working class who lost the support of the working class for his party. And he did so even though some of his achievements helped or will help working-class Americans.
In politics, that is tragic; in Biden's heart, I can imagine how it feels. Facts are stubborn things, Biden said in a speech last month at the Brookings Institution.
Biden spoke about the more than 16 million new jobs created in the last four years, the progress against inflation. A president more sinned against than sinning.
