CAROL ROTH:
Biden oversaw historic inflation and a collapse in the personal savings rate. In his term, home prices become completely unaffordable for a huge number of Americans. He oversaw deficits-to-GDP more than double the historic average and interest payments on the national debt explode past $1 trillion.
Credit downgrades? Don’t forget about that. The U.S. debt was downgraded for the second time ever under Biden, the first time being when he was Barack Obama’s vice president, and now stands near $35 trillion.
And that’s just part of his economic record. There is also illegal immigration and the border crisis. Merrill Matthews reported in January 2024 that by that time, the number of illegal immigrants in the United States had doubled under Biden. Let’s not forget foreign policy or America’s weakened position on the global stage, especially in the wake of the Afghanistan bugout debacle.
Kamala Harris and the Democrats need their media friends to magically make everyone forget the record, but the reality is that she owns it. She doesn’t get a free pass or a magic wand to make the abysmal record go away.
Biden in the first weeks of his administration put Harris in charge of the immigration crisis. Now the same media that regularly identified Harris as “border czar” is trying to claim that never happened. Axios published a story headlined, “Harris border confusion haunts her new campaign,” written by the same reporter who in 2021 wrote, “Biden puts Harris in charge of border crisis.”
Also being memory holed, Harris’s historically low approval ratings as veep:
Her own party and supporters hate her. There’s a reason Biden chose her other than her sex and color – she was an insurance policy because he knew nobody liked her.
He underestimated how ugly his own party was though …

Since Harris was nominated to be Biden’s vice president in 2020, the vast majority of the administration’s logos until last week read “Biden-Harris.” But after four years of dismal performance, their track record is being tossed down the memory hole, and as is their wont, the Democrats are now boiling everything down to race and gender:
