President Joe Biden’s tenure in office has been marked by significant controversies and challenges that have shaped public perception of his presidency.
From soaring inflation affecting everyday Americans to delayed acknowledgment of his seventh grandchild, and the recent pardon of his son Hunter Biden despite previous denials, Biden’s presidential term has faced mounting criticism.
During a recent CNN “State of the Union” panel discussion, attention turned to evaluating Biden’s presidency while examining prospects for Donald Trump’s potential second term.
CNN contributor Bakari Sellers commented on Trump’s age and potential presidency, saying: “And I don’t think this Donald Trump is going to be similar to the last one at all. I think he realizes that he only has four years. The difference, however, the substantive difference and something we have to watch — and I know that media and journalists will watch it more now than we did with Joe Biden — is that he’s 78 years old.”
Karen Finney, another CNN contributor, expressed concerns about potential chaos under Trump. She stated: “I think Americans are also going to get sick of kind of what we’re going to see, which is a repeat of chaos on Capitol Hill. We have already seen sort of that clash with traditional conservative values around the budget, for example, and raising the debt ceiling with the president.”

Conservative commentator Scott Jennings offered a stark assessment of Biden’s presidency. “Look, I think he’s going to leave office in disgrace,” Jennings declared. “The Hunter Biden pardon was disgraceful. He’s going to be remembered largely for inflation and for the disastrous Afghanistan pullout. And I think as we continue to — we’re just getting the first draft of this now.”
While panel members attempted to highlight Biden’s global engagement and regular presence in office, critics point to ongoing international tensions and questions about his effectiveness. The discussion underscored the deeply divided perspectives on Biden’s presidential legacy, with supporters emphasizing his stability while detractors focus on economic challenges and controversial decisions.
