How Biden anchored his first 100 days on two simple principles
CNN
The increasingly radical presidency of Joe Biden was built on a straightforward foundation: putting Covid-19 shots in arms and stimulus checks in the bank.
"When I took office, I decided that -- it was a fairly basic, simple proposition, and that is I got elected to solve problems," Biden said at his first official news conference in March. "And the most urgent problem facing the American people, I stated from the outset, was Covid-19 and the economic dislocation for millions and millions of Americans." Had Biden stumbled on these key tasks, his emerging, and staggering, multi-trillion dollar aspirations to remake the US economy and much of the social safety net would have appeared not just ambitious but politically inconceivable.More Related News
