Trump and Harris Face Off to Inherit Biden's Mixed Legacy
As Americans vote, the new president will confront challenges in immigration, abortion rights, and economic discontent.
- Biden's administration saw strong economic growth and job creation, but inflation and high living costs have left many Americans dissatisfied.
- The Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade reshaped abortion rights, with states now setting their own laws, prompting Biden to push for reproductive health access.
- Biden's immigration policies reversed many of Trump's measures, but record illegal crossings and political opposition complicated reforms.
- Foreign conflicts, including the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, have overshadowed Biden's foreign policy, challenging his goal of restoring U.S. global leadership.
- Efforts to transition to clean energy saw significant investment, yet legal and policy hurdles have slowed progress towards Biden's climate goals.
