President Joe Biden may consider resigning to allow Kamala Harris to become the first female president. Despite efforts to improve his legacy after the election, Biden's attempts have not been successful. Recently, he awarded civilian medals to several left-leaning figures, which many criticize as undeserving.
Biden's presidency is marred by failures in various areas, including economic policies and immigration control. Critics argue he abused the Justice Department to target Donald Trump and concealed his own cognitive decline, which became evident during a debate with Trump. Biden's cognitive fitness for office is questioned, and top Democrats feared losing the election should he step down, as Harris was not seen as a strong alternative.
In a controversial move, Biden pardoned his son Hunter for a wide range of past crimes, raising suspicions about undisclosed legal issues. Rather than addressing these concerns directly, Biden shifted media attention to other criminal cases. Additionally, he is accused of undermining the energy sector through drilling bans and altering visa programs to allow more foreign workers.
Biden's administration passes last-minute legislation that seems designed to benefit union workers, in an attempt to counteract Republican efforts to cut federal spending. There are ongoing measures to restrict energy policies to hinder the next president's initiatives. Critics view Biden's moves as desperate political maneuvers, with a focus on favoring select environmental projects.
Biden's presidency has fostered inflation, inefficiency, and increased national debt through his ambitious spending programs, which have yielded poor results. A Republican study indicated inflation rose significantly after the Inflation Reduction Act was implemented. Public approval ratings for Biden's economic decisions are among the lowest for modern presidents.
Biden has expressed a belief that he could have defeated Trump if re-elected, showing a lack of awareness about his diminished standing. His close association with former President Jimmy Carter, who also struggled during his tenure, reflects Biden's intent to secure a favorable legacy. Biden is planning an elaborate state funeral for Carter, which may intertwine with his own desire to be remembered positively.
As Biden prepares to eulogize Carter, there is speculation that his words may reveal his hopes for his own legacy, one that aligns with the struggles and challenges faced during his presidency.
