Rove pointed to the American Rescue Plan as a primary contributor\u2062 to inflation, predicting \u2064that this economic challenge will overshadow Biden&#8217;s legacy. Furthermore, \u2063he criticized \u2063Biden&#8217;s handling \u2063of foreign policy, particularly the &#8220;bloody, \u2064unneeded withdrawal&#8221; from Afghanistan, which he\u200b claims has emboldened adversaries like Russia and\u2064 Iran and set the stage for further international conflicts. Rove&#8217;s perspective highlights a profound discontent with Biden\u2019s leadership, both domestically and \u200bglobally.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Karl Rove: Biden&rsquo;s legacy will be marred by inflation and &lsquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-republicans-are-gearing-up-to-criticize-harris-for-her-perceived-border-weaknesses-as-she-leads-the-ticket\/\" title=\"House Republicans are gearing up to criticize Harris for her perceived border weaknesses as she leads the ticket\">weakness&#038;rsquo<\/a>;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1922717\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/section\/news\/white-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">White House<\/a> deputy chief of staff <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/karl-rove\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Karl Rove<\/a> predicted that history would not be kind to President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Joe Biden<\/a>&lsquo;s legacy, contending he failed the nation on key matters both domestically and internationally.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>With Biden set to exit the White House next month, the topic of how people will look back on his leadership as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-football-analogy-to-explain-democrats-election-cheating\/\" title=\"A Football Analogy to Explain Democrats&#039; Election Cheating\">46th president<\/a> has been raised before President-elect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> is inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2025.
