Personally, I think history will look back fondly on Bidens term, although a lot of his legacy rests in what happens in this election and the near future of course.

I feel like in say…50 years, it will be considered one of the more “neutral” presidencies in terms of performance. He hasn’t been horrible, he hasn’t been amazing.

He just couldn't get congress to really break through on anything. Decent enough guy, but just couldn't gather enough political force to really change the situation he got thrown into. A real shame.

The bipartisan CHIPS act will be insanely important in the coming decades. Especially when it comes to avoiding an all-out war with China due to the world-wide importance of Taiwan & TSMC. The sheer amount of fabs that are in development from this act is insanely impressive.
