Joe Biden is set to be inaugurated Wednesday as president of a nation staring down a confluence of crises: A pandemic that has killed 400,000 Americans, a devastated economy, and a misinformation-fueled political divide that drove a failed insurrection at the Capitol and has large swaths of the country baselessly doubting his legitimacy.
To tackle these challenges, Biden is likely to reach for the same tools he did back when he was first elected to the Senate in 1973, meeting this new moment of upheaval with the basics of governance, expertise, and a sense of comity that sometimes seems like it’s from a bygone era. His presidency will be the ultimate test of whether they are the right tools for the moment.
