PBS released a new Frontline documentary on Tuesday about President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the presidential race, but it was really more of an ode to his entire career. However, even PBS could not ignore the disastrous exit from Afghanistan, which it claimed overshadowed an “FDR-like first year.”
Former White House press secretary turned MSNBC host Jen Psaki hyped, “We knew we were walking into a pandemic, an economy that was reeling, so there was a crisis management aspect, certainly, of the first year. He felt that when you come in as president, especially at the moment he did, he needed to be a healer.”
Biden biographer Evan Osnos added, “Part of Biden's promise to the public was, ‘I'm going to show you that government can actually work again. That's what my decades of experience will deliver. We can show that Washington will work and we can put practical things in people's hands, like stimulus checks.’"
