President Biden's tenure in the White House expires in January, and political insiders from both sides of the aisle believe the remaining six months of his lame-duck presidency will consist largely of the same routine and "absolutely nothing."
Former Democrat presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, who represented Hawaii's 2nd Congressional District in the House from 2013 to 2021, said she sees little change coming Americans' way in the next six months, insisting Biden "hasn't been the one making decisions" on key issues all along.
"Clearly, President Biden hasn’t been the one making decisions on our country’s domestic and foreign policy for the last three and a half years," she said. "The same unelected people running the country with Biden as their figurehead will continue to do so for as long as he is in office and with Kamala Harris, if she’s elected."
Julian Epstein, an attorney and former chief counsel to Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee, told Fox News Digital he believes there is "almost nothing" Biden will be able to accomplish in the months and days before the inauguration.
"There is almost nothing that Biden can achieve in the next six months, other than treading water and maintaining the status quo," he said. "If the White House were smart, it would double down on its support for Israel and make clear that the Democrats understand moral clarity on fighting what is in effect the Ku Klux Klan on the banks of the Mediterranean."
American Majority CEO and founder Ned Ryun echoed Epstein's assessment, saying he believes there's "absolutely nothing" Biden will be able to accomplish in the shadows of Harris' presidential campaign.
"First, there’s no way anyone on either side of the aisle would want to push the envelope as they have their own re-elections to worry about," Ryan said. "[Senate Majority Leader] Chuck Schumer would never let anything overtly problematic come to the floor in the Senate because it’s a terrible map already; he doesn’t need to make it even harder for them to try and hold majority."
"So Biden will achieve precisely nothing, except via executive orders, as he’s beyond a lame-duck president and shouldn’t even still be in office," he added.
