Looking broadly at the performance evaluation of US President Joe Biden's administration in its first year, we find that its overall performance was negative, given that the popularity of the US president fell to the lowest level of a US president in his first year in the modern era, with the exception of former US President Donald Trump; and the popularity of Vice President Kamala Harris also fell to the lowest level of a US vice president in the modern era, but this is mainly due to local reasons.

This event was supposed to be celebrated by American public opinion, but it turned into a resounding disaster that was followed by everyone on various media and social media when the Taliban (the adversary of the United States in its longest war) took control of the country with a blinking speed, and American soldiers and others whose stay in the country is linked to the survival of American In terms of foreign policy, during its first year, the administration went through what was described as the worst event in American foreign policy in its recent history towards the Middle East; in particular, the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the way it was done.
