With discussion of legislative wins like the CHIPS Act and infrastructure bill, alongside challenges including inflation, Afghanistan, and border policy, the episode explores how timing, perception, and political aftermath shape legacy. Drawing on polling data and historical context, Smerconish asks whether Biden’s final chapter altered the way his presidency will be remembered—and how you would score it today.
