Perry, the director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center, "Biden’s accomplishments are more on par with J.F.K.’s New Frontier legislation—somewhere between simply tweaking policies around the edges and wholesale refashioning of American government.”

Perry, director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center.
When Biden met with historians last week at the White House—including Allida Black, the University of Virginia's Miller Center distinguished visiting scholar—they compared the threat facing America to the pre-Civil War era and to pro-fascist movements before World War II.
