The Washington Post reports that Biden's presidency is not well-liked, but implies that history may be more forgiving.

On Saturday, the Washington Post editorial board suggested that history may eventually view President Biden more favorably, as currently only one-third of the country approves of his presidency.

"The editorial board wrote that "Biden's presidency is currently unpopular due to his association with inflation, a porous southern border, a disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, a broken promise to not pardon his son, and his stubborn determination to seek a second term he wasn't qualified for. However, history may be kinder to him in the future.""

On Monday, President-elect Donald Trump will be inaugurated and begin his second term as president, officially ending the presidency of the current president.

The president's accomplishments were highlighted in the Post, including leading the country out of the pandemic, administering vaccines, steering the economy towards a gentle descent, and appointing the first African American woman to the Supreme Court.

As the president prepares to leave office, columnists, pundits, and political commentators have commented on his legacy, stating that his decision not to withdraw from the race earlier and Trump's re-election would be the most significant aspects that Americans would remember.

The president-elect's election would undo much of what the president accomplished in his four years.

The board wrote that other Biden initiatives may fail, along with his guiding philosophy. The incoming administration may reverse Pentagon policies on abortion and transgender athletes. Biden's support for institutions and norms may fade away, as a restless electorate sees it as a defense of an unpopular status quo.

The editorial board contended that Biden could have achieved "reducing the national heat."

"The 2024 results showed that many Americans were content with Biden as president over Trump for the past four years. Although he may have struggled to unite the country and failed to gain popularity, he managed to cool down the national temperature," the authors stated.

The Washington Post editorial board was set to back Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, but was halted by the paper's owner, Jeff Bezos, who made the decision to cease endorsing presidential candidates late in the election cycle.

Several Washington Post staffers resigned in opposition to Bezos' continuous defense of the decision.
