Will Biden's ego bring Trump back to the White House?

Is Biden’s evergreen ego — his scrappy Scranton Joe determination — outpacing his ability to win a tough election, much less govern a bitterly divided country until 2029?

Key Points: 
  • Is Biden’s evergreen ego — his scrappy Scranton Joe determination — outpacing his ability to win a tough election, much less govern a bitterly divided country until 2029?
  • Will there be dire consequences because the man who had been yearning to be president since he was 46 resists giving up the job at 81?

Biden’s impressive record

  • Condemnation of new eruptions of egomania in leaders with limited accomplishments — or malignant damage (does the aggrieved 45th president come to mind?)
  • He even reached out to those who disagreed with him, allowing him to forge deals with obstreperous Republicans and prickly Democrats.
  • He didn’t let denunciations prevent the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan or stop him from taking on a tortuous tightrope walk through the Gaza cataclysm’s horrors.

Ego or hubris?

  • High-achieving leaders are always at risk of crossing a line that separates self-confidence from over-confidence, ego from hubris.
  • Has Biden crossed this line as he hungers for a second term, leading him to potentially disastrous decisions?

Egos in the White House

  • George Washington combined sterling leadership qualities with the elitism of a slave-owning aristocrat (including the institution of exclusive presidential levees).
  • Theodore Roosevelt’s “progressive” activism went hand in hand with a desire “to be the corpse at every funeral, the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening,” according to his daughter.
  • Franklin D. Roosevelt’s self-confidence was as crucial to his success as it’s been to Biden.
  • FDR’s 12 years in the White House saw monumental results, especially the New Deal’s transformation of the federal government’s social welfare responsibilities.

FDR/Biden similarities?

  • In 1944-45 — as both the war and his own life were nearing their end — Roosevelt undercut his own successes by sliding into hubris.
  • Increasing strains on his health created tensions between ego and pragmatism.
  • This paved the way for shifts to more unilateral policies and style that Roosevelt would almost certainly have bemoaned.
  • Ironically, their calculations will also be subject to the complex tensions between personal emotions and pragmatism.
