Since the Clinton presidency, the Democrats had destroyed the Jeffersonian portrayal of a Republican America with rough parity and equality, pushing the average voter towards Trump. The latter highlighted the issue of illegal immigration but Harris who was in charge of stopping it visited the international boundary only after being declared the presidential nominee. She was constantly berated by Trump for having not done anything on this issue as vice president.

In the last four years, 10 million illegal immigrants entered the US. Many of them are on state-sponsored welfare schemes and some have even acquired US citizenship. This failure to tackle illegal immigration for many Americans is similar to the European reaction to the entry of thousands of people within its borders. Biden’s unwillingness to plan a strategy to end the forever wars have spread disaster in Ukraine and West Asia. His belated decision to step aside quite late in the presidential race was perceived by many as a ploy to thrust a candidate who had no time to face the rigour and legitimizing process of the primaries on the electorate. Thus, abandoning the legitimate democratic process of nomination was another important reason for the rout.

The presidential pardon is supposed to be used rarely, only to prohibit judicial overreach and blatant partisan acts of the Supreme Court but Biden’s use of it to pardon his son is one indication that his party is in dire need of drastic reforms.
