He had several major legislative accomplishments, which I feel like historians favor.

@PaperBoy it's a tug of war between that and failing to step aside + visceral reaction to pardoning your own son

@IsaacLiu agreed. What makes it a bit harder as well is that Carter is somewhat middle of the pack

@IsaacLiu not just any old pardon, it's a blanket ten year pardon.

@PaperBoy His legislative accomplishments had a high price tag but seem pretty weak in terms of long-term effects.

@MartinRandall yeah I sold my position after realizing that Carter isn’t even that low

From reporting of a 2022 survey:

... historians like Biden for his integrity ... However, he scores lower in his ... ability to communicate.

The assessment of his ability to communicate has held up well.

@MartinRandall integrity isn't really holding up well
