President Joe Biden is failing to deliver on his promises to stop COVID-19, repeating a theme that runs through his long political career, according to the Washington Examiner's editor-in-chief.

Biden, who promised during his campaign for president to "shut down the virus," on Monday told the nation's governors there is "no federal solution" to the pandemic. That fits with a pattern of talking big and falling short, said Editor-in-Chief Hugo Gurdon.

"One of the points to remember is that Biden is always overpromising and underdelivering," Gurdon said in an interview with Fox News on Tuesday. "Which is why he sets himself up for disappointing people."

Gurdon was asked about a recent Gallup poll taken from Dec. 1-16, in which 800 respondents gave their opinion on various political figures. Biden had a 43% approval rating, a significant dip compared to various political figures, including Vice President Kamala Harris, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

When asked if Democrats running for reelection should be worried, Gurdon said they should be "very worried." Biden is dragging the party toward a "calamitous" 2022 midterm election period, Gurdon said, pointing to Afghanistan and inflation as growing concerns for the Biden administration.

Gurdon describes "overpromising and underdelivering" as the "salient feature" of the Biden administration, arguing the president's inability to control COVID-19 is evidence of the president's current failures.
