This is a very well researched and thought out article. It seems no matter he accomplished, he was criticized from both sides.

Two things: illegal crossing at the end of his term became less than when Trump was in office and violent crime has also dramatically decreased.

I thought I had seen that crime and crossings were down, but I could not find the source again while working on the article. Thank you for the reminder.

Most of his achievements were made during the first 2 years prior to the Republicans taking the house. A constant barrage of criticism coming from the right, with their near monopoly on social media, and the Democrats failings in messaging brought about Trump 2.0, which threatens to undo a good portion of Biden's accomplishment. The shortcomings were ultimately the Democrats undoing.

You are so right. Those first two years with support from Congress were crucial. Let's hope the trifecta for Republicans doesn't equal substantial progress on their agenda items.
