Biden has been positioned as an experienced politician who will be able to reverse the rapidly growing divisions in American society during the presidency of his predecessor, Donald Trump, halt the Covid-19 pandemic, secure economic growth, and restore U.S. global dominance. However, opposition between Democrat and Republican supporters in the US has meanwhile become even more pronounced, with almost twice as many people dying in Covid-19 in the US last year as in 2020, inflation at its highest level in 40 years and US policy as an international symbol the failed withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.
It has also been shown that, despite Mr Baiden’s announcement immediately after taking office that the United States has returned and is about to sit down again, halting the decline in US global influence, globalization and the strengthening of new geopolitical centers, let alone reversing them , not possible. The growing rapprochement between Russia and China, the United States’ failed attempt to unite existing and potential allies during the Democracy Summit and, finally, Russia’s demand for a review of NATO enlargement and the geopolitical spheres of influence, and the fact that if there is an invasion of Ukraine, it is clear that the United States is not sitting at the “end of the table” and it is not clear whether there is still little table to sit at.
In general, the Baiden administration has failed to deliver on almost any of the president’s domestic and foreign pre-election promises during the year (and the administration itself, like the Democrats as a whole, is divided between so-called progressives and moderates), with appropriate consequences. One of the latest polls, a survey by the University of Winnipeg, shows that only 33% of Americans have a positive view of President Biden’s work and 53% have a negative view. In turn Gallup The data show that the predominance of Republicans over Democrats across the country has reached 5% (47% vs. 42%), and it is clear that if nothing changes, the November election will see a grand defeat, including the loss of a majority in the House and Senate. It is impossible to say whether this will happen, because there may always be factors that radically change the situation. However, as the current trend continues, Baiden has every chance to remain in history as one of the most unsuccessful and unpopular US presidents, and it is not ruled out that he will leave his post prematurely. Another question is whether such a step will bring the United States closer to solving these problems.
