As President Biden concludes his term, his time in office is being viewed with mixed reactions. While he achieved legislative wins and navigated the COVID-19 pandemic, his presidency is also marked by low approval ratings and the resurgence of his predecessor, Donald Trump.

Biden's farewell address highlighted his efforts to stabilize domestic politics, strengthen international relations, and address economic challenges. However, he also cautioned against the growing influence of an "oligarchy" threatening democracy.

National polls consistently place Biden's approval ratings below 50%. Factors contributing to these low numbers include the controversial withdrawal from Afghanistan, persistent inflation, and the situation at the southern border. Many Americans perceive his presidency as a failure, according to recent surveys.

Biden's re-election bid ended prematurely after a poorly received debate performance against Trump. He subsequently endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who ultimately lost to Trump. This electoral defeat further tarnished Biden's standing within the Democratic party.

Despite the negative assessments, some supporters believe Biden's legacy will improve over time as the long-term effects of his policies become apparent. Others, however, see his presidency as an interlude between two Trump administrations.
