He won the Democratic primary, even though voters had no shortage of fresh faces to choose from. He won the general election handily, despite Donald Trump’s sick talents as an insult comic and liar. The Inflation Reduction Act, the CHIPS and Science Act —were passed giving him a remarkable legislative record. His party defied expectations in the midterm elections, gaining a bit more power in the Senate and holding losses down in the House. He's old, but the Democratic Party has become younger, more liberal, and more educated under his leadership. Go Joe!
