WASHINGTON, Jan 20 — US President Joe Biden came in facing extraordinary challenges: A nation divided after the Donald Trump years, the Covid pandemic, and an economy in tumult.
At the start of the administration, 69 per cent of Americans approved of Biden’s Covid policies. Today that’s 46 per cent. However, an even bigger climate and social spending package, the US$1.7 trillion Build Back Better bill, died in the Senate after Biden proved unable to persuade a stubbornly opposed Democratic senator, Joe Manchin, to vote in favour. With a majority of just one in the Senate, that meant shelving of the bill.
His frequent vows to change America’s addiction to firearms and to institute reforms preventing police brutality have got little traction. Biden promised to unite Americans in his inaugural speech, leaving behind Trump’s unprecedentedly divisive style, which included whipping up hatred against migrants, journalists and other opponents in constant mass rallies.
