Biden Is Projected To Be The President-Elect. Here’s How It All Went Down.

Right, Micah, and I think there’s a good chance that the economy will be in even worse shape by January, when Biden takes office, unless a stimulus bill somehow passes by then. But on the other hand, Biden does have a number of fairly obvious moves he can make via executive action, which he can do as soon as he becomes president — reinstating DACA, for example.

I think Biden is defining his mandate here, and I’m impressed he included rooting out systemic racism in his mandate. That’s a strong move for him.

To your second question Micah, Biden will have to contend with a historic recession. But he’ll also have to contend with the perceptions of that recession. In October, the vast majority of Republicans believed the economy was doing well while only 8 percent of Democrats did. Under a Democratic president, I’m going to guess those numbers flip in short order.
