The honeymoon has ended for the new US president. Anthony Zurcher explains why.

There's a famous quip by boxer Mike Tyson - that "everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth" - and it's applicable to politics.

The challenges present opportunities for political revival, but also the danger of sinking deeper into the political abyss.Earlier this year, Democrats set out a two-step plan to enact Biden's legislative agenda for the first half of his presidency. This split within the Democratic Party is perhaps best exemplified by the public back-and-forth currently playing out in the US Senate.Joe Manchin of West Virginia, an influential centrist, has categorically said he will not support a spending package that costs more than $1.5tn . The senator from coal country has concerns about the environmental component and tax increases he believes would make the US less competitive globally.

Complicating matters further are a US debt-limit expansion and next-fiscal-year budget that need to be approved in the weeks ahead in order to avoid a government shutdown. If either hits a hitch, it could derail Mr Biden's delicate legislative dance.This was supposed to be next year's hot political topic, when the US Supreme Court is to take up a case on a Mississippi law banning the procedure after the 15th week of pregnancy.

But if Mr Biden is perceived as being insufficiently engaged, a defeat on abortion could end up dispiriting his Democratic base.The Biden White House has long figured that the success of this administration hinges on effectively handling the Covid-19 pandemic. For a time, it seemed that events were breaking their way. In July, the president told Americans they on the verge of declaring their "independence" from the virus.

The left closely watched the results in the California recall election, where the Democratic governor touted his get-tough Covid response and shored up once flagging support.

Failed presidency. Trump was better.

1) public speaking of any kind 2) drawing a clock 3) not biting his wife in public 4) no means no 5) telling his wife apart from his sister

Is no.1 going to the toilet unaided? I seriously can't believe we're all just going along with the farce that this dribbling dementia patient is actually in control of the most powerful military in the world. The sham of democracy is becoming more and more blatant.

Boris Johnson to tell Joe Biden: 'Lift travel ban and let Britons back into America'The Prime Minister will make an “impassioned” case for why the US President should lift his travel ban by allowing fully vaccinated people in the UK to travel directly into America. 'Impassioned' So not evidence based then. You know, facts & arguments, stuff that persuades actual adults rather than emotional guff. Is this not shambolic, shameful? World
