US presidency report card: How Biden's big promises met real-world challenges

The US economy under Joe Biden shows odd mix-ups: strong job numbers but peoples wallets dont feel it. With unemployment staying low (around 4%) and lots of new jobs‚ most folks still complain about high-priced groceries and housing costs – its a weird success that nobody likes

Immigration became a real head-scratcher when Biden changed Trumpʼs strict rules. After stopping the border wall work and letting more people seek asylum (which happened about 3 years back) illegal crossings went way up. Texas governor Greg Abbott started sending migrants north to cities like NY and Chicago; they werent ready for that

The Supreme Court made huge waves when it ended Roe v Wade protection in mid-2022: now more than 10 states dont allow most abortions. Kamala Harris became super-active on this issue – she even went to an abortion clinic (first VP ever to do that)

Hereʼs what happened with clean energy plans:
* Big money went into solar and wind projects
* New rules came for car-makers about emissions
* Oil production still went up anyway
* Climate goals are half-done

Foreign policy got super-messy. The Ukraine war keeps going (its been almost 3 years now)‚ and theres that terrible situation in Gaza. Biden tried to show America could lead again but these conflicts – plus trouble with China Iran and North Korea – made things really hard

The numbers look good-ish: GDP grows ok; stocks are up; wages increased. But regular folks still feel squeezed by prices that went crazy-high last year (hitting 9.1%) and havent totally come down
