In modern political history, few presidents have had a better second year than Biden did in 2022. [View all]
As the old expression goes, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,” but for Joe Biden this year, there was a heck of a lot more of the former than the latter. In modern political history, few presidents have had a better second year than Biden did in 2022.

Yet, as we near New Year’s Eve, Biden is in an envious position for a first-term president. Sure, his approval ratings remain mediocre — amazingly, they are practically at the same point they stood one year ago — but Democrats just came through the midterms with one additional seat in the Senate, well below expected losses in the House, and crucial gains at the state level. Moreover, rather than languishing in the Senate, much of Biden’s legislative agenda became law — including a massive spending package that will lower prescription drug prices, strengthen former President Barack Obama's health care law, and pump close to $370 billion into the fight against climate change.

So what turned Biden’s fortunes upward? It was a combination of luck, Republican extremism and an incumbent president who is better at politics than many political observers are inclined to acknowledge.

There is much more at the link. Just a huge shoutout to President Biden who is doing a terrific job leading our nation. Please tell me again how the other side is winning (owning the libs). What a pathetic lot they are.
