Biden's place is history is set
President Joe Biden's place in history is set. He resuscitated the government the previous administration had strangled to death; using science, he stopped COVID-19 dead in its tracks. He authorized free testing and free vaccines. He paid employers harmed by staff absences, and then, to everyone's surprise, he proved that strengthening the middle class strengthens everyone. No one since Franklin Delano Roosevelt has passed as much socially significant legislation in two years. Midterm elections traditionally spell doom to the incumbent, but Biden proved them wrong. In his four years, Biden put America in the best place it has ever been. He didn't just make lemonade from the lemons Donald Trump left behind, he created a healthy, strong and prosperous America that surprised everyone.
To continue Biden's legacy in the next four years, he must let the men and women he mentored finish the job he started.
