Biden’s handling of international affairs, particularly with Israel and Ukraine, has drawn criticism from conservative grader Jed Babbin, who also brought attention to Biden’s involvement in his son’s legal troubles. Babbin also highlighted Biden’s comments about the late George Floyd and inflation concerns. Additionally, Biden’s attempts to persuade Britain and France from censuring Iran have raised concerns about his foreign policy decisions.
Furthermore, there was criticism regarding Biden’s Gaza peace plan, with conservative grader Babbin referring to the administration’s failed $320 million humanitarian aid pier as a “perfect metaphor for the Biden administration.” Despite the challenges, Democratic pollster and grader John Zogby gave Biden a C+ grade for the week, citing Biden’s lead in polls and positive economic news as reasons for the grade.
In conclusion, President Biden faced criticism and challenges this week, but also had some positive accomplishments to celebrate.
