President Joe Biden assumed office in the wake of the 6 January Capitol insurrection, which shocked the American public and prompted questions about the stability of US democracy. In the end, Mr Biden successfully assumed office on 20 January, after four chaotic years of Donald Trump in the White House.
From the chaotic and rushed withdrawal from Afghanistan to record job growth and spiking inflation, The Independent’s senior US news editor David Taintor hosted a panel discussion on the first year of Mr Biden’s term. US Rep Hakeem Jeffries, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, joined the panel to discuss the Biden presidency and Congress’ legislative priorities.
