Summary
President Joe Biden leaves office with a legacy of leading the U.S. out of the COVID-19 pandemic, advancing infrastructure, semiconductor manufacturing, clean energy, and rallying global support for Ukraine.
However, since live television’s rise more than half a century ago, the skills needed to run for president have diverged from those required to govern.
This led many voters to doubt his capability despite his achievements, forcing him to withdraw from the 2024 race.
Meanwhile, voters have been less critical of Donald Trump’s age, overlooking unpopular policies like tariffs that hurt farmers and manufacturing.
Many Republicans and independent voters accepted Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election being stolen and justified the January 6 Capitol attack, enabling his return to office.
No they won’t. Less people remember George Bush for taking like a child and not knowing how to spell potato than they do for his actions in the Middle East. 6 years from now people will be reflecting more on Biden’s actions and policies than his mannerisms. I only say 6, because I’m sure he’ll be a focal point of this next election cycle.
I think the potato thing was Dan Quayle? Anyway, it makes your point all the more, honestly. :)
Potato was Dan Quayle.
Someone’s an optimist.
