Biden and Harris: A Leadership Defined by Avoidance and Accountability Gaps


President Biden appears to anticipate being held accountable for the devastation caused by Helene, a sentiment that seems to weigh heavily on him. While writing the post "Unquestionably Defeated: The Challenges of President Joe Biden's Leadership," I realized that Biden himself likely shares the same sense of foreboding. His responses to pressing questions suggest that he is well aware of the scrutiny looming over him.

The same can be said for Vice President Kamala Harris. She often avoids standing alone before the press, perhaps fearing that being solitary would invite embarrassing questions. The Democratic leadership seems unable to fully grasp the depth of their responsibility. Their collective failure to lead with accountability has become glaring. 

Biden and Harris have had ample opportunities to fulfill the trust placed in them, but instead, they seem to have focused on maintaining their position, sharing the spotlight with former President Trump rather than leading the nation that trusted them. Their leadership has been marked by crises, both at home and abroad, leaving lasting damage.

Fortunately, brave individuals and organizations have stepped up to fill the void created by this administration's missteps, preventing further harm. When Biden and Harris leave office, they won’t leave a legacy of progress, but rather one of gaps and pitfalls for their successors to navigate.

The Endless Cycle of Misinformation and Deflection: Biden, Harris, and the 2024 Campaign

For four long years, a column was being written in the press, a persistent narrative that followed President Joe Biden through his term in office. Every time Biden faced tough questions or criticism, he would pause, take a deep breath, and yell back, branding the conversation as either "misinformation" or "disinformation." It became almost a hallmark of his response—deflecting any criticism by labeling it as part of some broader, nefarious campaign to distort the truth.  This strategy came full circle the day Biden signed his name to a critical decision: his reelection announcement for 2024. By deciding to run again, Biden’s reelection bid felt like the culmination of a column that had been continuously drafted, edited, and critiqued. His familiar refrain against “misinformation” became, in essence, the core message of his defense—any challenge to his policies or leadership was dismissed as an attack not based on facts but on falsehoods. But the story didn’t end the...
