Summary
With the start of a new presidential administration, it’s natural to look to the future; and at Tangle, we’re doing just that. But before we start giving all of President Trump’s moves their deserved close reads, we wanted to conduct a thorough review of President Biden’s term in true Tangle fashion by taking a deep look at whether Biden fulfilled his core promises and how he tackled the key challenges he faced (we did the same for Trump’s first term).
While we aim to be as thorough as possible in this analysis, capturing all of the nuances of an office as vast as the American presidency in a single piece is impossible. We’ll undoubtedly miss some aspects of Biden’s record or fail to capture the full essence of some of his decisions, but we’re confident that you’ll come away from this edition with a holistic understanding of the issues and policies that defined his term.
As always, if you disagree with our analysis, think we missed the mark or want to discuss the piece further, don’t hesitate to write in.
