Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “go down in history“ and it is a phrase meaning “to do some important actions that will be remembered by many people in the future (or) to have some important events that will be recorded in history”.
Example Sentence: Joe Biden wants to go down in history as a transformative US president. He began his time in office by passing a popular economic stimulus and Covid-19 relief bill. The Biden White House basked in comparisons with Franklin Roosevelt’s country-changing presidency. With Democrats in control of the executive and legislative branches of government, the sky seemed the limit. However, in recent months Mr Biden’s agenda – most notably on climate change – has been buried in a legislative graveyard.
