Joe Biden recently withdrew from the presidential race, as if he had never promised campaign staffers less than a month ago that he would stay until the end.
Reflecting on the President's pledges, did he remember his promise not to build "another foot of the wall" when he resumed the construction of the US-Mexico border wall? Has he followed through his plans on tax raises and cuts? And what about healthcare?
This issue is not exclusive to Joe Biden. American politicians often backtrack on their words. Their promises are as delicate as bubbles. Election campaigning is one thing, but fulfilling their promises is another.
