Joe Biden is about to leave office with a series of missteps that have tainted his legacy as president, experts told Newsweek. Newsweek has contacted the White House for comment via email. Biden entered office in January 2021 with a promise to provide a sharp contrast what some perceived as a chaotic Donald Trump administration.

Historians may reevaluate his legacy in the years to come, after achievements and failures alike are put in more context, not to mention what occurs in Trump’s second term. Will Biden ultimately be viewed as a uniquely poor one-term president, or will history be kinder to him with time?

"Today an oligarchy is taking shape in America that literally threatens our democracy, our basic rights, our freedoms," the president said.

President Joe Biden asserted that America is becoming an "oligarchy" while warning the country in his televised farewell address on Wednesday of a "dangerous concentration of power" by the wealthy.

President Joe Biden is spending his final week in office outlining his legacy in key speeches, the capstone of his 50-year career in politics.
