A clear-eyed examination of Biden’s term.
By Carlos Lozadaross Douthat and Michelle Cottle
Produced by Andrea Betanzos and Sophia Alvarez Boyd
Is President Biden more of a Jimmy Carter or a James Buchanan?It would possibly be years before Biden’s legacy is actually understood, however, that hasn’t stopped “matter of opinion” hosts from debating how his time in the workplace will be remembered. .
Below is a transcript of an episode of “Matter of Opinion” We recommend listening to it in its original form for the full effect. You can do so using the player above or on the NYT Audio App, Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.
Michelle Cottle: Ok, welcome, to all. This is officially our first episode of “matter of opinion” in 2025. Today, we communicated to me about the inheritance of President Biden. It has approximately one week and a replacement that remains in power, and more than that, it ends a five decades race in the public service.
So before I leave and Trump’s moving van movement on Pennsylvania Avenue, I need us to look at the total of Biden’s estate, adding the 2024 election still as well. How do you look now? And how can you look only at the path with more perspective?
So, to launch everything, I wonder if we can communicate about this inheritance outside the 2024 elections.
