1. Biden did not keep his promises about corona
“Biden promised during the campaign that he would be more realistic about the virus than his predecessor,” says Erik Mouthaan, “and that he would get Covid under it. He promised that he would act competently if people chose him. The vaccination program also went well initially. prosperous and in July Biden called for America to “declare itself independent” from corona.”
“But then came the delta variant. And then omikron. And some Americans couldn’t even get a self-test. There have been no large-scale lockdowns, but the public is grumpy on Biden’s Covid Policy.”
2. Biden’s priorities are too left
“Pretty soon, the moderate Biden unfurled plans that the left wing of his party was enthusiastic about: free preschool, parental leave, strict regulations to meet climate goals, police reform, electoral law reform. Average Democrats were shocked and mourned. not when those plans failed in parliament. Fox News went on: that the president labeled a “socialist‘.”

3. Biden pretends nothing is wrong with the prices
Erik Mouthaan continues: “Consumers noticed it immediately when the groceries became a lot more expensive, and the petrol too. But the White House downplayed rising inflation for months. It would all be temporary, and caused by supply problems. That did not sit well with the average American: why does the president not pay attention to this theme?”
4. The president committed a foreign blunder
“The voters were happy with the fact that the US left Afghanistan. But the way in which that happened, was gênant. American soldiers and their Afghan aides had to hastily fleeing from advancing Taliban, though Biden had said it was “very unlikely” that the Taliban would take over and take over the entire country. In the crisis surrounding the evacuation Thirteen American soldiers also lost their lives at an attack.”

5. Biden must lead a deeply divided country
“As the two political camps, the Republicans versus the Democrats, increasingly loath and demonize each other, they automatically see opposing presidents as a failure. “I’m a Democrat, so I hate Trump,” is the thought, and vice versa: “I’m Republican, so I hate Biden.” What’s the point of giving great speeches as the leader of the country, if half the country doesn’t even want to listen to you anymore? Then it is easier to rule only for your own supporters.”

And what now?
Correspondent Erik Mouthaan suspects that President Joe Biden is moving to the political center and moderating his ambitions. “In November there are parliamentary elections, Republicans are on a win, unless they fly out of control by, for example, introducing bans on abortion everywhere.”
Biden, Mouthaan expects, will reposition himself as ‘the common man’.
