Americans sound off on Biden’s legacy as he prepares to leave office

Americans across the country are summarizing what they perceive president biden’His legacy will be as he prepares to leave office in a few days.

Fox News Digital talked to citizens across the country about how they think the one-term president will be remembered, and the opinions were pretty divided. However, even some Biden fans who enjoyed his time in the Oval Office acknowledged that history is unlikely to be too kind to the 46th president.

“I’m very sad for Joe Biden,” Brian, a Maryland resident, said during a visit to Washington DC last week. “He served his country pretty well for almost fifty years, but his legacy — it could be rehabilitated with the history books — but unfortunately, his legacy is going to be difficult because a lot of what his legacy is is the withdrawal from Afghanistan.”

“But they made mistakes and people died,” he added.

When asked what she believes Biden will be most remembered for, Michigan’s Genna told Fox News Digital in four words: “Corruption, DEI, they woke up too.”

Genna’s friend, Monell, chimed in, saying, “I think they’ve gone too far to the left. I think they’re pushing agendas for things that don’t matter. We’re helping Ukraine with money, and we’re not taking care of American citizens first and foremost.”

Houston resident Jennifer said Biden’s age will stand out in the history books. “People make fun of it, and it was just — I don’t know, I feel like he was a little too old to carry that much … there’s a lot to take care of. It’s not the best, in my opinion,” she said.

“Oh my God, open the borders,” said one Californian visiting Texas when asked what Biden’s legacy would be. – I don’t like what they did on our border. It was added by an anonymous man “law” against the newly elected President Donald Trump and his allies was also a major part of Biden’s legacy.

“They used the DOJ and the FBI to shut people up,” he said.
