About our Joe Biden news
Latest news on Joe Biden: coverage of the US president's final months in office, transition plans, and legacy after Democrats' 2024 election loss to Donald Trump.
Joe Biden, the 46th president of the United States, is serving his final months in office after the November 2024 election saw his endorsed successor, Kamala Harris, lose to Donald Trump. As the second president whose predecessor and successor are the same person (after Benjamin Harrison), Biden faces the unique challenge of managing the transition back to his political rival.
Following Biden's unexpected withdrawal from the 2024 race in July, citing concerns about age and health, the Democratic Party rallied behind Vice President Harris. However, her defeat in the general election has shifted focus to Biden's remaining agenda and the complex transition process ahead. The administration continues to work on key issues including the Israel-Hamas conflict, support for Ukraine, and domestic economic policies while preparing for the handover of power in January 2025.
Biden's presidency has been marked by significant legislative achievements, including the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and major climate initiatives. His empathetic leadership style and working-class roots have resonated with many Americans, though his approval ratings faced challenges throughout his term, particularly regarding inflation and border policies.
Looking back at Biden's five-decade political career, from his early days as a Delaware senator to his role as vice president under Barack Obama, his journey reflects major shifts in American politics. His presidency will be remembered for its historic firsts, including appointing the first Black woman to the Supreme Court, and for navigating complex global challenges including the Afghanistan withdrawal and managing relations with China.
