About the lecture:
When Joe Biden entered the Oval Office in 2021, he promised to heal America from four turbulent years of Donald Trump. Since that time, however, partisan polarization hasn’t waned in the United States, and many critics have accused Biden of abandoning his original pledge to govern from the center in favor of a bolder, more progressive agenda. More than two years into his presidency, and with uncertainty surrounding his and the Democratic Party’s future, which depiction of Biden is more accurate? Where has Biden succeeded in fulfilling his goals, and where has he fallen short? And how will he approach the final two years of his term in office?
