Biden’s Search For Firm Footing

President of the United States, Joe Biden, 80, completes two years at the White House on Friday. Whether he said as a matter of electoral strategy or on the basis of perceived threat to the prevailing system of governance, the 46th American president, on a number of occasions this year, expressed concern over what he sees as a crisis faced by the US democracy. Democracy is at risk, he said, on the eve of the midterm polls in November. Commentators and sections of the media agreed with him that the election results would determine whether American democracy would endure. The Democrats lost the majority at the new House of Representatives.
