Hannity Can’t Think of a Single Policy Success from the Most Successful President in Modern Times

During a recent interview with former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway, Fox News’ Sean Hannity said he can’t “think of a single policy success” of the Biden administration, suggesting he suffers from dementia or dishonesty.

Claiming he was “being as objective” as he can, Hannity said he couldn’t think of a single policy success for the most legislatively successful president in nearly 60 years. Though President Biden has yet to finish a single term, he has—by any genuinely objective measure—racked up a string of enormous accomplishments despite formidable challenges. 

Within six weeks of taking office, Biden signed the American Rescue Plan into law, which analysts say accelerated job growth by creating at least 4 million jobs years ahead of schedule, stimulated GDP growth such that the economy avoided a double digit recession, and cut American child poverty in half with an enhanced tax credit.  

The President’s Covid vaccine rollout doubled early projections, yielding 200 million vaccinations in 100 days and successfully vaccinating the overwhelming majority of American adults. 

Biden’s first two years were a steady drum beat of success: including the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the most expansive national infrastructure development since the Eisenhower administration; the CHIPS Act, which enhanced vital domestic technology and semiconductor manufacturing; the PACT Act, which expanded healthcare for America’s veterans; the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the most robust gun safety legislation in decades; the Respect for Marriage Act, which codified gay marriage protections into federal law in the event the right-wing Supreme Court moved to weaken or rescind them. 

The President’s accomplishments also include considerable investments to combat climate change, empowered Medicare and Medicaid to negotiate prescription drug prices with pharmaceutical companies, and capped the price of insulin at $35. 

In contrast, Donald Trump’s track record is relatively anemic: he failed to build his wall at the southern border, failed to repeal and replace Obamacare, failed to wipe out America’s debt, and succeeded only in cutting taxes for the rich and mismanaging the Covid pandemic.

Perhaps this further proves, as was previously demonstrated during his recent stint as moderator in a debate between Gavin Newsom and Ron Desantis, Hannity’s “objectivity” means nothing.
