Choosing a Label

Various pundits are beginning to ask how history will view the Biden presidency. Many like this will call it a failure. 

For what it's worth, I believe it will be viewed as an interregnum, defined as the time a "seat of power" is vacant between two reigns or regimes. The nation is operating largely on autopilot, with nobody of consequence at the helm.

At least some of the troubles the world currently faces are with us because of the power vacuum in Washington, DC. If we're lucky, we'll survive this leaderless phase. 

If fortune is not with us, who knows? It could get very ugly very quickly.
