President Biden's Lame Duck Status Becomes Evident

U.S. President Joe Biden at the White House

President Joe Biden has recently left Chicago for a vacation in California, marking the beginning of his lame duck status as the reality sets in. Despite being a sitting president in his first term who has achieved significant legislative milestones, Biden finds himself somewhat overshadowed at his party's nominating convention.

It is notable that the future of the Democratic Party seems to be evolving without Biden's direct influence, with the Obamas maintaining a prominent role in shaping the party's direction even years after leaving the White House. The convention also highlights the potential historic significance of Kamala Harris potentially becoming the first woman president, drawing attention to Hillary Clinton's previous bid to break the glass ceiling in 2016.
