Biden will likely begin his term with the lowest expectations of any recent president-elect. It will be easy to not act like Trump and to be empathetic, which were the main differentiators raised in the campaign. He’ll certainly be expected to address COVID-19, but that might be achieved in the public mind merely by taking it more seriously (as he has during the campaign). Although there was a large policy agenda, a tied or opposition-dominated Senate will diminish policy expectations.
