rides out
Survives the storm
Rides out means to endure or survive a difficult period by waiting for it to pass.
The image is of a ship staying afloat through a storm rather than seeking harbor: We'll just have to ride out the recession.
You can ride out a crisis, a scandal, or turbulent markets.
The emphasis is on weathering something rather than fleeing or fighting it.
