First 100 days of the Joe Biden presidency

Last updated

The first 100 days of the Joe Biden presidency began on January 20, 2021, the day Joe Biden was inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States. The 100th day of his presidency ended on April 30. The first 100 days of a presidential term took on symbolic significance during Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term in office, and the period is considered a benchmark to measure the early success of a president. The 100th day of his presidency ended on April 30, 2021.

Contents

Over his first 100 days, Biden signed 42 executive orders, more than any of his predecessors since Harry S. Truman. [1] Many of these executive orders were reversals to Donald Trump's policies. On March 11, he signed the American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion bill to help relieve economic strain due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [2] With the elections of Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock in Georgia, the Democrats held a slim majority in both the House and the Senate. [3] This was crucial in ensuring the passage of the American Rescue Plan, as every Republican senator voted against it. [4]

Pledges

Biden pledged to do the following in the first 100 days of his presidency:

Fulfillment of pledges

While Biden pledged to do the above within his first 100 days in office, as of May 8, 2023 Biden has completed:

Complete fulfillment

Fulfillment after first 100 days

Partial fulfillment

  • Stop construction of the southern border wall (Biden paused construction during first 100 days, but later resumed it at a smaller capacity) [19] [20]
  • Raise refugee cap set by Donald Trump from 15,000 to 125,000 (with the increased cap, 60,014 refugees have been admitted as of mid-2023) [21] [22]

Unfulfilled

  • No new oil drilling on federal lands [23]
  • End the US involvement in the Yemeni Civil War (The United States remains in support of Saudi-Arabian backing in the Yemeni Civil War, although involvement is reduced somewhat) [24] [25] [26]

Inauguration

The first 100 days of the Presidency of Joe Biden began during the inauguration of Joe Biden with the conversion of Whitehouse.gov from the Trump Administration version to the Biden Administration version at 12:00 pm on January 20, 2021. This was the fourth presidential online portal transition and the second to involve social media accounts such as Twitter. [27]

Attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election

Following Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 United States presidential election, then-President Donald Trump, along with his campaign and political allies, pursued an effort to dispute the election. These efforts culminated in the January 6 United States Capitol attack, in which thousands of President Trump's supporters stormed the Capitol while the electoral votes were being counted, despite President Trump's admonitions to be peaceful. [28] Of the hundreds of people who stormed the Capitol, the Department of Justice under the Biden Administration found none of them guilty of sedition. [29]

Trump and his allies encouraged election officials to throw out legitimate votes, especially in states where Biden won with a narrow lead. [30] In a phone call in early January, Trump pressed Georgia's Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, to "find" 11,780 votes, the number of votes by which he lost in the state. [31] President Trump refused to concede [32] until January 7, 2021, when he publicly acknowledged that he would not serve a second term. [33]

On January 18, 2021, Biden announced his 23-member cabinet. These included Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Attorney General Merrick Garland, Treasury Janet L. Yellen, Defense Lloyd Austin, the Interior Deb Haaland, Agriculture Tom Vilsack, Envoy for Climate John Kerry, Commerce Gina Raimondo, Labor Martin J.

Haines, Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas, Housing Marcia L. Fudge, Energy Jennifer M. Granholm, Transportation Pete Buttigieg, Climate Gina McCarthy, EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan, and Education Miguel A. Cardona. [34]

Domestic policy

American Rescue Plan

The American Rescue Plan is a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus package, which passed the 117th United States Congress on March 10, 2021, and signed into law by President Biden the next day. Building on the CARES Act, it created a number of measures to relieve the economy due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the following:

The Act passed on a near party-line vote, with 50 Senate Democrats voting for the bill and 49 Republicans voting against. [4] An amended version passed the House with 220 votes for it and 211 votes against, with one Democrat joining every Republican in voting against it. [39]

COVID-19 vaccine distribution

A major goal of President Biden was to distribute 100 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine by the end of his first 100 days. By the time Biden took office, Operation Warp Speed was already distributing a million doses a day on average. This goal was reached by the 59th day of his presidency, and he soon after doubled the goal to 200 million doses. [40] This goal was met on April 21, 2021, with a week to spare until his 100th day in office. [41]

Immigration policy

Biden campaigned on the promise he would roll back President Trump's hard-line stance on illegal immigration. Shortly after taking office, he ended construction on the southern border wall. [43] Biden had pledged to raise the Trump-era immigration cap from 15,000 people a year to 125,000, but backtracked on this promise shortly after becoming president, citing humanitarian concerns. [44] His administration worked to protect hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, mainly from Venezuela and Myanmar, from deportation. [45] Lack of significant action has drawn criticism, especially since Biden has failed to deliver on many of his immigration-related promises. [46]

Foreign policy

Rejoining international organizations

On June 1, 2017, President Trump announced that the United States would pull out of the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change mitigation. [47] The withdrawal took place on November 4, 2020, one day after the 2020 election. [48] Following the election, President-Elect Biden pledged to rejoin the agreement, which he did on his first day in office. The United States formally rejoined the agreement on February 19, 2021. [49]

In July 2020, President Trump formally announced plans to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization, accusing the WHO of being under China's control. [50] The withdrawal was to be effective as of July 6, 2021. [50] In a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guteres on January 20, 2021, President Biden stated that the United States would resume funding the WHO. [51]

China

The Biden administration made competing with China a top priority. [52] The United States sanctioned Chinese officials over human rights abuses [53] and kept in place the tariffs which were introduced by the Trump administration. [54] Biden has emphasized the importance of rebuilding ties with allies to counter Chinese growth. [55]

Defense

When Biden took office, the US military budget was at an all-time highthe Trump administration had requested a budget of over $740 billion for FY 2020. [56] Biden promised to repair relationships with allies, and stated that the United States was "fully committed" to the NATO alliance. [57] During his address to the Munich Security Conference, he said that the United States would "earn back [its] position of trusted leadership." [58]

Speech to a joint session of Congress

The 46th President of the United States, Joe Biden, gave his first public address before a joint session of the United States Congress on April 28, 2021, the eve of his 100th day in office.

On December 31, 2019, China announced the discovery of a cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan. The first American case was reported on January 20, and Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar declared a public health emergency on January 31. Restrictions were placed on flights arriving from China, but the initial U.S. response to the pandemic was otherwise slow in terms of preparing the healthcare system, stopping other travel, and testing. The first known American deaths occurred in February and in late February President Donald Trump proposed allocating $2.5 billion to fight the outbreak. Instead, Congress approved $8.3 billion with only Senator Rand Paul and two House representatives voting against, and Trump signed the bill, the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2020, on March 6. Trump declared a national emergency on March 13. The government also purchased large quantities of medical equipment, invoking the Defense Production Act of 1950 to assist. By mid-April, disaster declarations were made by all states and territories as they all had increasing cases. A second wave of infections began in June, following relaxed restrictions in several states, leading to daily cases surpassing 60,000. By mid-October, a third surge of cases began; there were over 200,000 new daily cases during parts of December 2020 and January 2021.

The federal government of the United States initially responded to the COVID-19 pandemic in the country with various declarations of emergency, some of which led to travel and entry restrictions and the formation of the White House Coronavirus Task Force. As the pandemic progressed in the U.S. and globally, the U.S. government began issuing recommendations regarding the response by state and local governments, as well as social distancing measures and workplace hazard controls. State governments played a primary role in adopting policies to address the pandemic. Following the closure of most businesses throughout a number of U.S. states, President Donald Trump announced the mobilization of the National Guard in the most affected areas. In January 2022, President Biden confirmed there's no federal solution to the pandemic as cases were climbing dramatically.

The presidential transition of Joe Biden began on November 7, 2020, and ended on January 20, 2021. Unlike previous presidential transitions, which normally take place during the roughly 10-week period between the election in the first week of November and the inauguration on January 20, Biden's presidential transition was shortened somewhat because the General Services Administration under the outgoing first Trump administration did not recognize Biden as the "apparent winner" until November 23.

The 46th and incumbent U.S. president Joe Biden has seen multiple efforts by some members of the Republican Party to impeach him. An impeachment inquiry into Biden was launched in September 2023, without a vote, by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who designated three House committees led by James Comer, chairman of House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. A number of prominent Republican lawmakers, along with Donald Trump and some of his political allies, have indicated the motivation behind efforts to impeach Biden is also driven by resentment over Trump's previous two impeachments.

The following is a timeline of the presidency of Joe Biden during the first quarter of 2021, beginning from his inauguration as the 46th president of the United States on January 20, 2021, to March 31, 2021.

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, also called the COVID-19 Stimulus Package or American Rescue Plan, is a US$1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill passed by the 117th United States Congress and signed into law by President Joe Biden on March 11, 2021, to speed up the country's recovery from the economic and health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and recession. First proposed on January 14, 2021, the package builds upon many of the measures in the CARES Act from March 2020 and in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, from December.

The foreign policy of the Joe Biden administration emphasizes the repair of the United States' alliances, which Biden argues were damaged during the Trump administration. The administration's goal is to restore the United States to a "position of trusted leadership" among global democracies in order to address challenges posed by Russia and China. Both Biden and his Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin have repeatedly emphasized that no other world power should be able to surpass the United States, either militarily or economically. Biden's foreign policy has been described as having ideological underpinnings in mid-twentieth century liberal internationalism, American exceptionalism, and pragmatism.
