President Biden's Legacy Address Highlights Policy Victories And Challenges

U.S. President Joe Biden delivers remarks on his efforts to curb so-called junk fees, in Washington

As President Joe Biden prepares to deliver an address outlining his legacy, his administration is reflecting on a term that saw initial policy victories followed by challenges in the latter half. The White House achieved significant milestones in 2021 and 2022, including passing legislation for post-pandemic stimulus, infrastructure spending, and investments in clean energy and semiconductor manufacturing.

However, the narrative shifted in the second half of Biden's term as Republicans regained control of the House of Representatives during the midterm elections. The administration's focus on international crises, particularly in Ukraine and the Middle East, led to criticism of being out of touch with domestic issues such as immigration, crime, and the cost of living.
