The main causes are the 40-year high inflation and the recent surge in gas costs. And so does the pandemic, which is already in its third year of slow, steady progression. Despite early bipartisan praise for President Biden’s handling of the war, Russia’s horrific attack on Ukraine has not produced the kind of rally around the flag impact that American presidents normally enjoy in the earliest phases of a foreign crisis.

The presence of the gray-haired but still charismatic former president may have only helped to highlight the differences in approach between the two parties.
