Biden wanted his presidential legacy to be that of a transformative figure, lifting America out of the depths of COVID-19 and Trumpism toward a new era of prosperity.
Instead, Biden's presidency will be remembered, to the extent it is at all, as a bump in the road of the Trump Era.
Biden could face an even worse fate, because by the time Trump leaves office in 2029, he will have been the dominant focal point of American political life for over 12 years. Even when Trump wasn't in office, he monopolized our attention.
Ironically, by losing the election in 2020, and being forced to serve nonconsecutive terms, the Trump Era has an extended shelf life beyond even the most influential two-term presidents. In comparison, Biden will be all but forgotten.....
