Vice President Kamala Harris offered her first public remarks since President Biden’s decision to step aside in the upcoming election.
In those remarks, Harris claimed, “Joe Biden’s legacy of accomplishment over the past three years is unmatched in modern history,” continuing later, “In one term, he has already surpassed the legacy of most presidents who have served two terms in office.”
She offered nothing in support of these assertions, which easily fall under the most minimal scrutiny.
Supporters of President Biden will try to argue, for example, that he saw America out of the coronavirus pandemic.
This is only technically true, as the perpetual passage of time indeed means that the coronavirus crisis ran its course over the years he was president. By every other metric, he failed on this front.
It was Biden himself who asserted in a debate with then-President Trump that “Anyone who’s responsible for” — at that time 220,000 — “that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America.
