President Joe Biden’s management is coming to an end, he and his assistants are still categorical, crossed the political band before the inauguration of President -elect Donald Trump on January 20, 2025.
Democrats, who in some cases are not angry at Biden for his resolve to seek reelection this year despite considerations about his age and intellectual acuity, have pointed to what they see as his political and political accomplishments, adding laws and positive economic indicators.
“He deserves a lot of or a ton of credit for the things he did,” Democratic strategist Stefan Hankin told the Washington Examiner. “After the 2022 election, if Biden had been like, ‘Hey, I said I was going to be a bridge. I’m stepping back, have a primary, it’s not going to be me,’ I think his numbers now feel safe to say they’d be better than where they are now. It’s tough to get much lower, but it would be a very different narrative that we’d be talking about.”
However, as Democrats implore Biden to forgive more federal student loan debt and protect illegal immigrants from Trump’s proposed mass deportations while he is still in power, you could be forgiven for forgetting some of the other controversies from the president’s first and only term.
Here are some of Biden’s biggest controversies from his 4 years in office:
Republican strategist Duf Sundheim admitted that there had been a “generalized dissatisfaction with the governments of the world.
At the same time, “it is difficult to believe in a management that has failed in more vital problems than the management of Biden,” according to Sundheim.
“Inflation, the border, Afghanistan,” he told the Washington Examiner.
In particular, the insistence of the Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, in which inflation would be “transient” inadequate, the complaint that Biden is disconnected and is not able to manage the economy well with “Bideomics”.
“In fact, I doubt we’re going to see an inflationary cycle,” Yellen told Newshounds a blank space briefing in May 2021. “We expect a bit of higher inflation in the coming months for a variety of technical reasons, essentially, due to anything called ‘Core Effects’ that, in one-year comparisons to the following more general levels.
The consumer price index rose to 2.7% in November 2024 compared to November 2023, an increase from 2.6% in October, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The year-over-year inflation rate in January 2021 was about 1.4%.
A time when the Republican strategist, Brad Todd, agreed that Biden had possibly regretted fainting early in his administration, adding his first day of passing to the White House, in terms of immigration policy.
“He signed EOS to open the border and raise the power on day one, which set him up for failure,” Todd told the Washington Examiner.
Biden was criticized for publicly refusing to acknowledge the challenge at the southern border as a crisis, even after illegal passages reached their 250,000th summit of his administration last December.
“I’m not trying to be cute here, but I think the fact of the matter is: We have to do what we do regardless of what anybody calls the situation,” Biden’s former border czar Roberta Jacobson told reporters during a White House briefing in March 2021. “The fact is we are all focused on improving the situation, on changing to a more humane and efficient system. And whatever you call it wouldn’t change what we’re doing because we have urgency, from the president on down, to fix our system and make sure that we are better at dealing with the hopes and the dreams of these migrants in their home country.”
Biden’s first immigration policies were going to avoid Trump’s border wall, ending the restrictions of their predecessor in surely Muslim countries, protectors of the “dreamers” who have arrived in the United States everything to being younger and directing immigration American and the application of customs a prioritize violent criminals of violent criminals of the United States immigration legislation before beginning to adopt more difficult positions, such as the publication of a decree in June that allowed managers to deport Asylum seekers without processing your complaints.
Biden undermined his reputation for empathy and compassion in 2021 after he was continuously photographed his watch the transfer of dignified leftovers, the rite in which the US military who died abroad returns home, by the thirteen infantry soldiers who were killed in a terrorist attack amid the the The The The The The The The The The The The The The The Terrorist The The The The The Retired from Afghanistan.
Biden declared and assumed the duty of the “disorderly” withdrawal that after the U. S. -backed Afghan government, imploded “faster than we anticipated,” with 11 Marines, an army paratrooper, a marine corps and 170 Afghan nationals killed in the Islamic State attack near the abbey at Karzai International Airport.
However, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby dismissed criticism of the withdrawal as chaotic despite conceding the “first few days were very, very tough” and “hectic,” citing a lack of force presence at the airport.
“We give them within 48 hours and approximately 72 hours after that, this airport was essentially, for all purposes, owned by the United States, surrounded by the Taliban and ISIS,” Kirthrough told journalists in an informative session of the White House in April 2023 later. The launch of the review after the action. “Not only did they have to run an airport, climb the radars and make the weather, control the air traffic, bring planes and have them loaded, have a medical exam, have a safety control, have a diplomatic presence on the floor to make sure That ‘we return to the other people correct to the airplanes, but also protect this external threat airport.
“So, despite all those speeches about chaos, I just saw it, my hanger,” he said, regardless of the photographs of Afghans, plummeting until his death from the wings of the planes of the US planes.
Many of Biden’s controversies concerned foreign policy, including rankling France with his nuclear submarine agreement with Australia and the U.K. in 2021, downplaying the importance of a “minor incursion” into Ukraine by Russia before saying Russian President Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power” in 2022, his fist pump with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman later that same year after arguing the kingdom should be a “pariah,” and permitting a Chinese spy balloon to traverse the country in 2023 before pausing shipments of heavy bombs to Israel amid its war against Hamas this year.
Nationally, however, aside from the pardon of his son, Hunter Biden last month, his ultimate politically damaging controversy temporarily failed to keep his promise to lead the country from the Covid-19 pandemic. Joe Bid’s approval score poll began to fall after his “Summer of Freedom” speech in June 2021.
“America is headed into the summer dramatically different from last year’s summer: a summer of freedom, a summer of joy, a summer of get-togethers and celebrations,” Joe Biden said during his remarks. “An all-American summer that this country deserves after a long, long, dark winter that we’ve all endured.”
In the midst of special suggesting Jack Smith’s federal investigation on the alleged mismanagement of Trump’s classified documents, Attorney General Merrick Garland specially designated Special Suggested former Robert Hur in January 2023 last November that intelligence and notes related to Iran, Ukraine and the United Kingdom, before their presidency, were discovered at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D. C.

After a one -year investigation, Hur published his report in February 2024, without recommending any accusation despite the evidence that Joe Biden had “retained and voluntarily revealed documents classified after his vice presidency when he privately. “
“We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” Hur wrote.
