There are major problems ongoing today such as supply chain issues and vaccine hesitancy, but there is no magic bullet solution to make these problems go away overnight. What do you suggest be done? What more could the Biden administration be doing? Instead of just saying "talking about Trump won't fix anything", actually suggest solutions...
As for the news media, it is important that they correctly identify where many of today's problems originated from: the Trump administration's woefully inadequate response to the pandemic, and vaccine hesitancy that he exacerbated by stoking the fires of distrust and anti-science sentiment. Again, I'm not sure what you want them to be talking about or how you think ignoring Trump will actually solve anything.

Most of the supply chain stuff has nothing to do with Biden or any Federal jurisdiction.
As an example, the city of Long Beach just got pressured into waiving the "you can only stack containers in storage yards two high" zoning rule.
That instantly creates way more storage space near the ports and should help quite a bit.
But long Beach zoning, ALWU labour relations/terminals not paying overtime, and the trucker shortage are all not really federal issues.
Somewhat ironically peobably the best thing Biden could do to help would be keep line 5 going. If that fuel needs to travel by truck it will pull truckers to that job, exacerbating the shortage.
