“If you hear nothing else I say tonight, hear this,” Biden said. “Anyone that is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America.”

“I will take care of this,” he promised. “I will end this. I’m going to shut down the virus, not the country.”

For the sake of our country, I really do wish that Biden had been able to follow through on these promises. But any honest appraisal of reality reveals that the president has failed on all counts.

Roughly 366,470 Americans have died of COVID-19 since Biden’s inauguration, according to the Washington Free Beacon. More Americans have now died of COVID-19 in 2021 — a year in which Biden has been president, except for the first few weeks — than in 2020 under Trump.
