As Joe Biden’s time in the White House comes to an end, and as he wraps up a near 50-year career as a public servant to our country, the question of what his legacy is has to be asked. Biden spent 36 years representing Delaware in the US Senate, and 8 as the Vice President under Barack Obama, but his 4-year term as President of the United States will have the biggest impact on how he is viewed for generations to come. WOR White House correspondent Jon Decker spoke with the WOR Morning Show about Biden’s legacy and what he was able to accomplish in the oval office.
“The fact that he was able to pass a bipartisan infrastructure bill during his first year in office is a great legacy,” Decker tells guest Host Rory O’Neill. “There have been many presidents that have tried to move that type of legislature forward and he was able to achieve that.”
Despite the positives, Decker thinks they were not enough to overshadow the mistakes he made in the eyes of the public: “When Joe Biden was sworn in January 20th of 2021, he had a 55% approval rating but it declined pretty quickly after that chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and those poll numbers never recovered.”
