Joe Biden’s presidency is ending, not with a bang, but with a scandal — actually, two scandals.
An old man, shuffling off the political stage — and not too willingly. A bit like Frank Skeffington, the aging hack character played by Spencer Tracy in the 1958 movie The Last Hurrah. Skeffington sums up his dubious life: “One more regret at my age won’t make much difference.” Yet, for all their electoral eagerness, neither Frank nor Joe could overcome the passage of time — and their time passed.
So, when the history of the Biden-Harris administration is written, it will be mostly muddled. A term from political science fits well: “disjunction.”
Here at Breitbart News, this author used that “d” word a dozen times to describe the Biden presidency. For instance, on October 9, 2021: “The president is unable to lead the rival groups within his own party, and so a general air of drift, even chaos, sets in.” I added that such disjunction was also the story of Jimmy Carter’s presidency back in the 1970s — “and we know what happened to him.”
Now, we know for sure that the 46th president, like the 39th president, will be a one-termer.
