In all likelihood, President Biden’s legislative record is close to completed. jonathanchait writes that Biden has had success — though not in the way he and his supporters expected and not as much as they would like you to believe
second term
The bar was set impossibly high from the outset when, after securing the nomination, Biden began likening his ambitions to Franklin Roosevelt’s and outlined a sweeping domestic-reform agenda, including a public option for health care, a lower eligibility age for Medicare, closing the Medicaid gap,, and an expansion of the child tax credit and Earned Income Tax Credits, among other reforms.
The truth is that Biden fulfilled a small fraction of his campaign goals. The biggest surprise of his presidency may be that he has left almost no mark at all on the social safety net. Since Roosevelt’s time, the creation of durable new benefits has generally been the main measure of a Democratic presidency. Bill Clinton’s administration expanded the EITC and created the child tax credit and a children’s health-insurance program.
