Biden’s summer: A tough time of setbacks and scandal.

Summer Challenges for President Joe Biden

Summer has not been kind to President Joe Biden, who returned from the July Fourth holiday this week hoping to turn the page from a spate of setbacks and unflattering headlines.

Biden had ended the previous week by railing against multiple Supreme Court decisions that angered Democrats and disrupted his agenda.

Supreme Court Decisions and Controversies

• Biden strongly disagreed with the court’s decision on affirmative action at colleges and universities.
• The Supreme Court struck down Biden’s student debt forgiveness plan.
• Biden criticized the court’s ruling in a case involving a wedding website creator and same-sex marriage.

Progressives demanded Biden use executive power to address these issues, while Republican groups turned his economic plan, “Bidenomics,” into a campaign punchline.

Furthermore, the New York Times shed light on the Biden family’s personal affairs, including the president’s unacknowledged granddaughter in Arkansas.

Challenges Involving Hunter Biden

• Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to tax charges, raising questions about his father’s involvement.
• Transcripts from IRS whistleblowers suggested favorable treatment for Hunter Biden and potential involvement from Joe Biden.

Additionally, incidents raised concerns about Joe Biden’s fitness for office, including confusing statements and visible marks on his face.

On top of these challenges, Vice President Kamala Harris received the lowest approval rating of any vice president in history.

The president’s rocky couple of weeks culminated in a bizarre situation at the White House, with the discovery of cocaine and questions about its source.
