Joe Biden’s presidency is limping to the finish line in a manner that’s as chaotic and perplexing as the rest of his time in office. Instead of using his final days to address the very real struggles of Americans, he’s doubling down on misguided policies that have already done considerable damage.
The latest head-scratcher? Biden’s decision to send even more weapons to Ukraine, pushing the U.S. deeper into a dangerous conflict with Russia. While Americans grapple with inflation, rising grocery bills, and record-high gas prices, Biden seems more focused on playing geopolitical chess halfway across the globe. It’s as if the daily struggles of working-class families don’t even register on his radar.
This isn’t a one-off miscalculation. From his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan to the ongoing border crisis, Biden’s presidency has been defined by a string of failures that have left Americans shaking their heads. Each blunder has further eroded trust in his ability to lead, and his handling of foreign and domestic affairs alike has consistently prioritized optics over outcomes.
Now, with just weeks left in office, Biden seems more preoccupied with avoiding scrutiny than making amends. Reports from his recent trip to Brazil for the G-20 summit paint a grim picture of a president who’s dodging accountability at every turn. According to The Washington Post, Biden ignored reporters entirely, even as a frustrated producer held up questions written on a giant pad of paper as he boarded Air Force One. That image—a president retreating from transparency while wandering through the Amazon rainforest—feels like a metaphor for his entire administration.
Nate Silver Calls for Biden to Resign
Even voices within Biden’s own political sphere are calling for a change. Election analyst Nate Silver, a figure not exactly known for conservative leanings, minced no words this week when he suggested Biden step aside.
“Is there any particular reason to assume Biden is competent to be president right now?” Silver asked on X (formerly Twitter). “It’s a dangerous world. Extremely high-stakes decisions in Ukraine. He should resign and let Harris serve out the last two months.”
Silver’s blunt assessment underscores a growing sentiment among Americans—Biden simply doesn’t appear to be in command. With approval ratings scraping bottom at just 37.4%, even Democrats like Silver are admitting that Biden’s leadership is untenable.
Silver went a step further, arguing that Biden’s presidency has become a liability for his party. “Democrats should have pushed Biden out of the race a year ago,” he noted. It’s hard to argue with that assessment when polls show a president increasingly detached from the needs of the people he’s supposed to serve.
A Legacy of Avoidance
The real question isn’t whether Biden can finish out his term; it’s whether he should have been president at all. His administration has been marked by avoidance—of the press, of accountability, and, most importantly, of leadership. From domestic challenges like inflation and the border crisis to international crises like Ukraine, Biden has consistently opted for the path of least resistance, often at the expense of the American people.
His decision to escalate the Ukraine conflict by sending additional weapons is emblematic of this failure. Instead of focusing on the economic struggles plaguing American families, Biden is gambling on a high-stakes geopolitical conflict that risks dragging the U.S. into direct confrontation with Russia.
Meanwhile, at home, inflation continues to eat away at paychecks, and millions of Americans feel abandoned by a president who campaigned on unity and competence. Biden’s priorities are so out of sync with the needs of everyday citizens that his presidency feels less like leadership and more like a prolonged episode of damage control.
The Trump Solution
Biden’s final days in office serve as a grim reminder of everything that went wrong during his tenure: misplaced priorities, reckless policies, and an administration more focused on appearances than outcomes. His presidency has been a wake-up call for Americans, highlighting the stark contrast between the failures of the Biden administration and the promise of a return to real leadership under Donald Trump.
As Biden prepares to leave office, one thing is clear: Americans are ready for a course correction. A Trump presidency offers a chance to rebuild, refocus, and restore the priorities that truly matter—putting America first.
