The Biden Presidency 12 Months Later: What are the Outcomes so Far?

On the 20th January 2022, Institute Montaigne hosted a webinar with Maya Kandel, Senior Fellow and Director of the U.S program at Institute Montaigne and Phil Stephens, contributing editor for the Financial Times on the theme “The Biden Presidency 12 Months Later: What are the Outcomes so Far?”. 

One year into his presidency, Biden has been faced with numerous challenges: a pandemic and its fallout, a shaky economy and a divided country. Despite lowering unemployment rates, passing spending bills and providing Covid-19 vaccinations, Biden now faced low polling numbers and a fragile party majority on Capitol Hill. 

During the Webinar, Maya Kandel and Phil Stephens reflected on Biden’s first year as President and what steps he should take for the future.
