The legacy of President Joe Biden is being scrutinized, with some critics arguing that his tenure has been marked by significant failures.
Franklin Foer, a staff writer for The Atlantic, has penned a scathing critique of Biden's presidency, asserting that despite some accomplishments, Biden has "failed spectacularly" on his key issue of "preserving democracy."
According to Gateway Pundit, Foer's critique is particularly harsh, suggesting that Biden's decision to run for re-election was a selfish one, which has led to a series of unfortunate events. "Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.s obituary will be stalked by the counterfactual: What if he hadnt made the selfish decision to run for reelection? What if he had passed the torch a year or even six months earlier? That makes for a grim parlor game," Foer writes.
Foer further criticizes Biden's re-election campaign, describing it as absurd and questioning the wisdom of entrusting the nation to a president who would conclude his term at 86. He also accuses Democrats of ignoring clear signs of Biden's declining cognitive health, a claim that has been widely disputed. "The evidence that Biden wasnt fit for a second term was abundantly clear in his public appearancesand in the public appearances that he studiously avoided," Foer continues.
While Democrats and left-leaning individuals often highlight Biden's achievements, the American public appears to have a less favorable view of his time in office. A recent Gallup poll reveals a starkly negative perception of Biden's presidency. The poll suggests that a majority of Americans - 54 percent - believe Biden will be remembered as a "poor" or "below average" president. Only 19 percent of respondents believe he was "above average" or "outstanding," with a further 26 percent deeming his performance as merely "average."
Foer's critique concludes with a damning indictment of Biden's advisors, accusing them of failing to dissuade him from running for re-election. "Advisers knew that Bidens instinct was always to invest faith in his own capacities, but they never made a concerted effort to talk him back from his decision to run, until it was far too late. Donald Trump is their legacy too," he writes.
This critique of Biden's presidency underscores the deep divide in American politics, with conservatives and liberals offering starkly different assessments of his performance. As the nation grapples with the fallout of his decisions, the debate over Biden's legacy is likely to continue.
