President Biden’s approval continues to crater and the disapproval number for this administration remains high, and to explain that away without making it sound like it’s all Biden’s own doing USA Today shifted into a passive voice to make the president the victim of “events”:
From Afghanistan to inflation to the baby formula shortage, Joe Biden has been hammered by events that have eroded his support even among Democrats.

The media’s record of predictability remains perfect!
“Bad things just happen to Democrats. It’s never their fault.” 🙄 https://t.co/GNAzVJ7rqJ

Things just keep happening to Biden… if somebody would make those things stop he’d be the most popular president ever.
Once again framing things happening to Joe Biden and not because of him https://t.co/AMN117J8Dz

The Forrest Gump of presidents, just a likable mentally handicapped bystander to all these big current events.

The disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal was just something that happened to Biden?
How do they put Afghanistan here? That was 100% his own doing. Just incredible.

The USA Today might assign blame to Trump for that.
Can't wait for all the "how did this happen" takes in November.
