Some effects of that computer mess on Friday are still with us.

I'm David Brancaccio in New York.

President Biden's decision to end his re-election bid means there's now six months left before a new president comes in.

There's the matter of legacy and on our beat here Joe Biden's emerging economic

legacy, Marketplace's senior Washington correspondent Kimberly Adams, joins us now.

Morning, Kimberly.

Good morning, David.

President Biden stays president for just about another six months,

but let's now talk about what kind of... about

what kind of economic policies might eventually be associated with

Biden.

Of course that's one for the historians

but it looks like Biden will likely be remembered for safely

bringing the economy out of the COVID pandemic. Like most presidents, he'll probably

get both credit and blame for things that may or may not have been completely under his

control but I ask Jennifer Victor who teaches political science at George Mason

University how she thinks history is going to remember the Biden economy. I suspect historians are going to be very kind to Joe Biden.

Most of his policy legacy is on the domestic politics front, dealing with with COVID, the economic calamities that COVID produced and other

things that happened in terms of investing in green energies.

Some of the big wins include the American Rescue Plan early in his administration, the

Inflation Reduction Act, which was a big win for him on climate policy, and then of course

finally getting an infrastructure law passed.
