Reagan Reese writes for the Daily Caller about the final chapter in President Biden’s political career.

President Joe Biden had an eventful last year in office, from losing track of his Defense Secretary to breaking one last promise and pardoning his son, all while dropping out of the presidential race and saying his final goodbye to the Oval Office.

Biden’s approval rating hit an all-time low, falling to 34% just two weeks before the end of the year. Biden battled low approval ratings before dropping out of the presidential race, but still managed to fight off a special counsel report, make it to the first debate, and overshadow Vice President Kamala Harris’s closing arguments before her loss.

Biden’s 2024 began with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin going MIA as he and the Pentagon forgot to notify the White House about his hospitalization for several days. Austin was hospitalized at Walter Reed Hospital on Jan. 1 and neither his stay, nor his time in the intensive care unit, was reported to the White House. Despite the communication break down, Biden never considered firing Austin, a White House official previously confirmed to the Daily Caller.

Once the Austin scandal died down, ran into Special Counsel Robert Hur. Hur declined to pursue criminal charges against the president, despite finding that Biden willfully retained classified documents, because a jury might see Biden as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

Hur noted in his report that during their five hour interview, he forgot when his term as vice president began and ended and when his son Beau had died. The president held an angry press conference responding to the report and blaming his staff for the handling of the classified documents.

“How bad is your memory?” Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked the president.

“My memory is so bad I let you speak,” Biden snapped. “My memory is fine. Take a look at what I’ve done since I’ve become president.”
