How do you think Biden's presidency will be remembered?
For me, he'll be a short entry, maybe a long footnote, in the history of Trump's presidency, nothing but a speed bump. Rather than being, as his cheerleaders would try to tell you, "transformative" or "historical," he'll be just an anomaly that occurred between Trump's time in office.
If you think about it, he came in on the end of a health crisis and contributed nothing to it. Anything he did towards that was overshadowed by events surrounding Trump, like Jan 6. You, well everybody, remembers that because the Left kept pounding on it incessantly, while few recall Biden's whiny mask and vaccine mandates that disappeared quickly in utter failure.
That followed with his trying to immediately fix the economy with the Infrastructure Bill that Biden saw in the same vein as early FDR acts to create jobs. Instead, it languished with little to show for results while driving inflation through the roof. When that happened, he doubled down on spending with the Inflation Reduction Act, that could better be described as the New Green Deal lite. Neither is particularly going to be recalled in history as something significant, but their results causing skyrocketing inflation will be.
Then there was the disaster in Afghanistan, followed by Ukraine, and then the disaster in the Middle East.
Stuff like the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago and lawfare against Trump will get more play than anything Biden was doing. Tack on two assassination attempts to that and Trump will get remembered for those while Biden might get a mention for falling down stairs, off bicycles, and other flubs of that sort. Certainly Biden will be remembered for being senile. I'd also say he's likely to get remembered as the least popular president to date since WW 2. That legacy has been cemented by the polls.
Harris, likewise, will go down as a failure having been anointed rather than elected by primary and running one of the shortest and worst presidential campaigns in history.
In the end, Biden most likely will be seen as inconsequential and irrelevant. Just a speed bump that somehow got elected. Trump often got more attention during Biden's four years than Biden, and that too isn't going to change.
Sure, Trump is going to clearly be remembered as divisive, but he won't be forgotten like Biden will be. In 100 years Biden's going to just be another Gerald Ford or Chester Alan Authur. A nobody that warmed the chair in the Oval Office for a term.
