Biden’s first 50 days: $1.9 trillion spending bill could be as good as it gets

President Biden entered office promising rapid action to bring the coronavirus pandemic under control and deliver an aid package for millions of people struggling in the economic downturn.

After 50 days in office, supporters tout his avalanche of executive orders reversing former President Donald Trump’s policies, his work to secure vaccine doses for every person in the United States by the end of May, and the passage of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan as evidence that he is governing just as he promised.
