Why Is Joe Biden So Unpopular?

Ross Douthat: “Biden got elected, in part, by casting himself as a transitional figure, a bridge to a more youthful and optimistic future. Now he needs some general belief in that brighter future to help carry him to re-election.”

“But wherever Americans might find such optimism, we are probably well past the point that a decrepit-seeming president can hope to generate it himself.”
