The secret appears to be having a favorable media which refuses to document your failures.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the legacy media presenting Biden as a popular and accomplished incumbent, the reality is his presidency called a lid on accomplishments early on. Here is a brief sampling of his many failures to this point in his first term:<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Having 70% of Americans vaccinated by Independence Day<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The White House admitted in early June that Joe Biden will likely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/politics\/us-will-likely-miss-bidens-july-4-covid-19-goal-of-having-70percent-of-adults-vaccinated-white-house-says\/ar-AALk2aq\">miss<\/a> his goal of having 70% of American adults inoculated with at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by the Fourth of July. Media coverage <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/coronavirus-pandemic-health-government-and-politics-eb4f8fe6fcd36dd9e41d388fdcd28bd1\">focused<\/a> on \u201cvaccine hesitancy \u2026 particularly in the South and Midwest,\u201d Republican strongholds. \u201cAll 16 States That Have Hit Biden\u2019s Vaccine Goal Voted For Him In 2020,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jackbrewster\/2021\/06\/22\/all-16-states-that-have-hit-bidens-vaccine-goal-voted-for-him-in-2020\/?sh=7a3c48fd39d3\">reported<\/a> Forbes. That leaves nine states Biden carried. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kff.org\/coronavirus-covid-19\/issue-brief\/latest-data-on-covid-19-vaccinations-race-ethnicity\/\">Black voters and Hispanics<\/a>, which Biden carried handily, are also underrepresented among the vaccinated \u2014 perhaps because they remember <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-kamala-harris-promotes-dangerous-conspiracy-theory-about-coronavirus-vaccine\">Kamala Harris<\/a> warning that the vaccine may not be safe during the 2020 presidential campaign?<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Shipping Tens of Millions of Vaccines to Other Countries<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The 70% vaccination goal is actually the second vaccination promise Joe Biden has failed to deliver as president. He vowed that the United States would export tens of millions of vaccines to other nations with \u201cno strings attached\u201d by month\u2019s end. \u201cToday, the [a]dministration announced its framework for sharing at least 80 million U.S. vaccine doses globally by the end of June and the plan for the first 25 million doses,\u201d read a White House <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2021\/06\/03\/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-unveils-strategy-for-global-vaccine-sharing-announcing-allocation-plan-for-the-first-25-million-doses-to-be-shared-globally\/\">statement<\/a> dated June 3. During his trip to Europe a week later, Biden promised that exporting a half-billion doses of Pfizer\u2019s COVID-19 vaccine would make the U.S. an \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/now\/u-arsenal-vaccines-world-biden-225652447.html\">arsenal of vaccines<\/a>.\u201d But the Associated Press <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/biden-outlines-vaccine-plan-set-160027639.html\">reported<\/a> on Monday that \u201cfewer than 10 million doses have been shipped around the world.\u201d The administration blamed \u201cregulatory and other hurdles,\u201d as though the administration had no control over federal regulations.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Repealing Donald Trump\u2019s Tax Cuts<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In May 2019, Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atr.org\/biden-first-thing-i-d-do-repeal-those-trump-tax-cuts?page=1?amp\">told<\/a> an audience that the \u201cfirst thing I\u2019d do is repeal those Trump tax cuts.\u201d A month later, Biden <a href=\"http:\/\/thewashingtonpost.newspaperdirect.com\/epaper\/viewer.aspx\">promised<\/a>, \u201cFolks, on day one, I will move to eliminate Trump\u2019s tax cuts.\u201d Thanks to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, \u201ca typical family of four earning the median family income of $73,000 saw a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atr.org\/10-facts-media-won-t-tell-you-about-gop-tax-cuts\">tax cut of over $2,000<\/a> \u2013 a 58% reduction in federal taxes,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atr.org\/biden-first-thing-i-d-do-repeal-those-trump-tax-cuts?page=1?amp\">according<\/a> to Americans for Tax Reform.<\/p>\n<p>Thus far, the Biden administration has made little effort to bring his tax-hiking vision to pass, a failure many Americans are likely grateful for.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Raising the Minimum Wage to $15 an Hour<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Joe Biden made raising the minimum wage a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/joe-bidens-plan-help-ordinary-americans-first-ashe-schow\">key plank<\/a> of his campaign in his very first speech after throwing his hat in the ring. It is \u201cwell past time that the minimum wage nationally be a minimum of $15,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/biden-calls-for-15-minimum-wage-public-option-health-plan-in-first-campaign-speech-2019-04-29\">said<\/a> Biden in April 2019. Although the move could cost as many as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/a-15-minimum-wage-would-cost-2-million-jobs-professors-conclude\">two million jobs<\/a>, Biden tried to include it in the only major legislative accomplishment of his presidency: the COVID-19 \u201crelief\u201d package.<\/p>\n<p>But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/manchin-every-senator-thinks-minimum-wage-should-be-increased\">eight Senate Democrats<\/a> voted against the proposal. By the time the Senate Parliamentarian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/bidens-covid-19-relief-plan-cant-include-15-minimum-wage-says-senate-parliamentarian\">excluded<\/a> that provision from the bill, Biden had already declared the minimum wage hike \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-privately-tells-democrats-that-minimum-wage-hike-is-dead\">dead<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Forming a National Police Commission<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In a campaign speech last June 2, Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2020\/06\/02\/politics\/biden-philadelphia-transcript\/index.html\">pledged<\/a>, \u201cIn the first 100 days of my presidency, I have committed to creating a national police oversight commission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But a mere 81 days into his presidency, Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/04\/11\/biden-police-oversight-commission-480931\">reneged<\/a>. \u201cBased on close, respectful consultation with partners in the civil rights community, the administration made the considered judgment that a police commission, at this time, would not be the most effective way to deliver on our top priority,\u201d said Susan Rice, director of the Domestic Policy Council. Instead, of keeping his campaign promise by establishing a commission \u2014 which was entirely under his control \u2014 Joe Biden erratically shifted responsibility to Congress and focused on his new goal \u2026<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Passing a National Police Restriction Act by the Anniversary of George Floyd\u2019s Death<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Two weeks after nixing the National Police Commission, Joe Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/biden-asks-congress-police-reform-bill-by-george-floyd-death-anniversary-2021-04-29\/\">told<\/a> Congress to pass a sweeping national law, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, post haste. He said, \u201cLet\u2019s get it done next month, by the first anniversary of George Floyd\u2019s death,\u201d less than one month away.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the legislation failed to pass Congress by May 25, when Biden had the Floyd family <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/george-floyd-family-pushes-congressional-police-reform-at-white-house\">visit<\/a> the White House for what was to be the bill\u2019s signing ceremony.

During his first 100 days in office, Donald Trump nominated and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-trumps-supreme-court-pick-gorsuch-hank-berrien\">confirmed<\/a> Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, advanced the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/trump-administration-approves-big-step-toward-completing-keystone-xl-pipeline\">KeystoneXL Pipeline<\/a>, and so changed the economic environment that the Dow Jones Industrial Average <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/stock-market-bursts-through-20000-democrats-who-ben-shapiro\">broke 20,000<\/a> for the first time. Yet New York Times columnist David Leonhardt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/04\/26\/opinion\/donald-trumps-first-100-days-the-worst-on-record.html\">wrote<\/a>, \u201cTrump\u2019s supporters deserve to be disappointed, and his opponents should be cheered by how unsuccessful his agenda has been,\u201d facetiously dubbing Donald Trump\u2019s first 100 days \u201cthe worst on record.\u201d CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2017\/04\/24\/politics\/donald-trump-first-100-days-plans\/index.html\">reported<\/a> that Trump \u201cproduced one of the least-prolific first 100 day debuts of any president in modern history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joe Biden\u2019s presidency has yet to hold a candle to the substantive triumphs of his Republican predecessor, but the media have presented Biden\u2019s serial failures as a rousing triumph. The real Biden record proves that reporters are promoting an agenda and popularizing a presidency, not measuring his objective achievements.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
