Biden's Final Agenda: Legacy, Pardons, and Ukraine

As President Biden enters the last two months of his administration, he is focusing on several key initiatives that will shape his legacy. First on his agenda is to reflect on the past four years, highlighting his accomplishments in an effort to solidify his mark on American history. Coupled with this is the urgency to allocate financial resources approved by Congress, ensuring that essential projects are funded and completed before his term ends. This financial maneuver also acts as a buffer against any potential rollback by former President Trump. Another critical area of Biden's focus is the ongoing war in Ukraine; his administration is working to increase military and financial support to bolster Ukraine's defenses against aggression. Biden's approach has included changing policies to provide Ukraine with new weapons and additional funds. Furthermore, the Senate is awaiting the confirmation of multiple judicial appointments that Biden has put forth, which could reshape the judiciary landscape for years. Lastly, Biden is wielding his pardoning powers—having recently pardoned his son Hunter, who was facing sentencing for criminal convictions, and possibly considering pardons for members of his administration facing legal scrutiny. As these initiatives unfold in the coming weeks, they will forge a significant chapter in Biden's presidency and influence the future trajectory of the nation.
