All signs seem to indicate that one week from today, the United States will break from recent

tradition and have a peaceful transition of power. It felt like a good time to assess Joe Biden's

presidency, which his staff would have you believe is one of the most consequential in American

history, FDR-esque. I admire their loyalty to their boss, but I think Biden is a pretty mid-tier, mediocre president.

I don't think he's awful. I don't think he's a horrible threat to freedom the way that you might hear on truth social.

The main way I would describe Joe Biden is that he was an unusually weak president.

And he was, in many important moments, loath to decide when we really needed a president to decide.

And I think that that ultimately made him less effective than he could have been in the moment.

The good, the bad, and the Biden.
