2. Biden’s Agenda
As far as passing legislation goes, especially in the grip of a global pandemic, Biden’s presidency got off to a good start as he passed a massive Covid economic and healthcare aid package. The tax-relief payments he gave out unquestionably helped lift millions of US children out of poverty and was seen as a real win for the Democrats who had been looking to pass such legislation for a long time.
He also managed to reach across the aisle and work with Republicans to create a huge infrastructure spending bill, to invest heavily in roads, bridges, broadband, and electric car charging stations. However, despite a promising non-partisan start to his legislative ambitions, his agenda was soon met with both stalemate and fierce opposition.
