The first 100 days of Joe Biden's presidency began on January 20, 2021, the day Joe Biden was inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States. 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 at noon on April 30, 2021.

Over his first 100 days, Biden signed 42 executive orders, more than any of his predecessors since Harry Truman. 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.

With the elections of Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock in Georgia, Democrats held a slim majority in both the House and the Senate. This was crucial in ensuring the passage of the American Rescue Plan, as every Republican senator voted against it.

Pledges

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

• Provide 100 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine; this goal was later doubled to 200 million doses
• Utilize the Defense Production Act to produce personal protective equipment
• Raise the refugee cap set by Donald Trump from 15,000 to 125,000
• Revoke the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline
• Stop construction on the southern border wall
• End travel restrictions from Muslim countries ("Muslim Ban")
• Rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization
• End United States involvement in the War in Afghanistan and the Yemeni Civil War
• No new oil drilling on federal lands

Inauguration

Шаблон:Main Шаблон:Multiple image 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.

Attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election

Шаблон:Main 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. Of the hundreds of people who stormed the Capitol, the Department of Justice under the Biden Administration found none of them guilty of sedition.

Trump and his allies encouraged election officials to throw out legitimate votes, especially in states where Biden won with a narrow lead. 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. President Trump refused to concede until January 7, 2021, when he publicly acknowledged that he would not serve a second term.

Domestic policy

American Rescue Plan

Шаблон:Main 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:

• Sending $1,400 direct payments to citizens making under $75,000 a year, with the benefits phasing out for high-income taxpayers
• Paid leave benefits for 100 million workers by offering a tax credit for employers who offer paid leave
• Extending the child tax credit for 2021 from $2,000 per child to $3,000 per child
• Grants to small businesses, including over $28 billion for restaurants through the Restaurant Revitalization Fund

The Act passed on a near party-line vote, with 50 Senate Democrats voting for the bill and 49 Republicans voting against. 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.

COVID-19 vaccine distribution

Шаблон:Main 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. This goal was met on April 21, 2021, with a week to spare until his 100th day in office.

Immigration policy

Шаблон:Main Biden campaigned on the promise he would roll back President Trump's hard-line stance on immigration. Shortly after taking office, he ended construction on the southern border wall. 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. His administration worked to protect hundreds of thousands of immigrants, mainly from Venezuela and Myanmar, from deportation. Lack of significant action has drawn criticism, especially since Biden has failed to deliver on many of his immigration-related promises.

Foreign policy

Rejoining international organizations

Шаблон:Main On June 1, 2017, President Trump announced that the United States would pull out of the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change mitigation. The withdrawal took place on November 4, 2020, one day after the 2020 election. 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.

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. The withdrawal was to be effective as of July 6, 2021. 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.

China

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

Defense

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

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.
