Episode description

Franklin Foer, author of "The Last Politician," discusses his book about President Joe Biden's first two years in office. You can get it here. Foer argues that Biden has been grossly underestimated, highlighting his accomplishments such as managing the Covid-19 crisis, passing major bipartisan legislation, ending the war in Afghanistan, and strengthening the American economy. However, Foer notes that Biden often doesn't receive credit for these achievements, possibly due to public misconceptions about him. The book also explores Biden's relationships with other political figures, including former President Barack Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris. Foer concludes that Biden's experience and human qualities have informed his political approach and enabled him to make significant progress despite his limitations.
