How Trump unwittingly tripped up Biden

This article argues that Biden was tripped up by being able to implement his agenda.  In other words, it's all Trump's and the Republicans' fault for not winning the elections and thus allowing the Dems to pass laws that ruined the economy.

How Trump unwittingly tripped up Biden

That unexpected majority allowed Democrats to pass the American Rescue Plan in March 2021, with no Republican votes. The ARP flooded an additional $1.9 trillion in stimulus money into the economy, after Congress had already provided $4 trillion worth of COVID aid in the prior 12 months. The ARP included familiar types of relief—stimulus checks, extended unemployment benefits—plus Democratic priorities such as new health care subsidies and a more generous child tax credit.

The problem now, of course, is that inflation has soared to 8.6%, the highest level since 1981. This probably spells disaster for Democrats in the November midterm elections, where they seem certain to lose control of the House, with the Senate a close call. Biden himself faces a credibility problem, since last summer, he told voters rising inflation would be a temporary problem. He was wrong, and his sagging approval rating—now under 40%—is the punishment.

It's a parlor game to ask if the Democrats would be better off in a counterfactual world in which Trump were normal and Republicans won at least one of those Georgia Senate races, giving them control of the Senate and the full ability to block Democratic legislation. The ARP would never have passed.
