For a president who so many people believe is failing, Joe Biden sure is suddenly notching up an impressive string of victories. And they're not minor. In fact, Biden is on a roll when it comes to both domestic and foreign policy.

After a number of painful defeats, including [url=https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/mailtrack.io/trace/link/61fa2530d370eda77c37f9bb6e481d29bde21a7e?url=https*3A*2F*2Fwww.cnn.com*2F2022*2F01*2F21*2Fpolitics*2Fbiden-agenda-2022-strategy*2Findex.html&userId=3243276&signature=60e13b8a43b8f569__;JSUlJSUlJSUl!!AQdq3sQhfUj4q8uUguY!l6BD0O1E4OKOtJpzVK1rx14BvXZfPLyNceoo4H-MUvmjglXCYKs97IejRoBjptcxCrpxO3qMjqAbAgi0yqje$]high-profile setbacks[/url] on his Build Back Better bill, the Biden presidency seems to have turned the tide.

Unemployment is now down to just 3.5%, matching the half-century low last seen in February 2020.
