In what way? I don't live in the US, so what did I miss? I don't remember Biden doing anything of note (good or bad).

> But he did campaign on a single term.

Biden said that he was running for only a single term, and during this entire second election campaign nobody called him out on that, not even outspoken Trump?

Looks like he just signed a bunch of money to people, then said he fought inflation which was both directly and indirectly caused by him signing over money... Can't see anything tangible there that forcibly improved the lives of Americans.

More stimulus money was spent under Trump ($456B) than Biden ($410B).
