Staff Reports
Joe Biden’s presidency has officially joined the list of failed experiments in government, overshadowed by a series of blunders and inflated notions of success. Over four turbulent years, the Biden administration has floundered in its attempts to justify its existence, leaving many scratching their heads at the list of supposed accomplishments—including a bill aimed at breaking up monopolies that most Americans neither understand nor care about. With credit card debt skyrocketing and inflation wreaking havoc on middle-class families, it’s safe to say that Biden’s legacy reads more like a cautionary tale rather than a success story.
As Biden retreats from the political arena with a resignation akin to that of a deflated balloon, his inner circle is playing the blame game. According to reports, a senior advisor has placed the responsibility for the president’s exit squarely on the shoulders of Nancy Pelosi and a cadre of disillusioned Democratic donors. It seems the party’s power brokers sought to reboot their image, and Biden’s faltering campaign quickly became the sacrificial lamb. Instead of rallying support, the Democratic leaders opted for a public dissection of their president, which is either incredibly brave or incredibly foolish—perhaps both.

Anita Dunn, once a trusted communications advisor in the White House, has now shifted her allegiance toward a Kamala Harris super PAC and has not taken kindly to Biden’s skeptics. She asserts that the leaks and misgivings voiced by party leaders set a dangerous precedent, allowing a cascade of Democrats to air their grievances openly and force Biden out. The not-so-emotional fallout between Biden and Pelosi is hardly a surprise, as they have both been at odds for quite some time now, raising eyebrows over their lack of communication. When a party is at war with itself, it’s hard to argue that they have the best interests of the nation at heart.
Biden’s final farewell warned of his ambitions for a second term, yet it was delivered in the tone of a tired old man reciting his grocery list. Upon reflection, it doesn’t take a political genius to see that asking for votes while the opposition smells blood in the water is a losing strategy. The debacle of a debate he had against Donald Trump sealed the deal, as the Democratic Party began to plot their escape route from what was shaping up to be a dumpster fire of a campaign. Realistically, how often does a sitting president get ousted by their party months before an election?
Behind the curtain, the true puppeteers of this saga are often suspected to be previous leaders like Barack Obama, who seems to have been pulling strings from the shadows. Interestingly enough, whispers of a George Clooney op-ed criticizing Biden didn’t help matters either. Rather than rallying his teammates, Biden now finds himself on an island, with his party pondering their next play like a group of football fans lamenting over a lackluster season.
Whether it was the dizzying rate of inflation, his calamity of an interview series post-debate, or a detected bout of COVID, the writing was clearly on the wall. Each misstep served only to fortify the urgency with which Pelosi and other Democratic elites sought out alternatives. The reality of the matter is that Biden’s presidency has imploded under the weight of its own high expectations and poor execution—much to the delight of anyone viewing from afar, popcorn in hand, waiting to see how a party once synonymous with strong leadership could so spectacularly lose its way.
