“America is on the move again,” Biden said. “After 100 days of rescue and renewal, America is ready for a takeoff,” Biden spoke to a sparsely populated House chamber, with a select number of lawmakers socially distanced due to COVID-19, on the eve of the 100th day since he was sworn into office. By waiting until late April, about two months later than the usual date for a first joint address by a new president, Biden was able to take a victory lap for early accomplishments.
He described the ongoing massive vaccination effort, and the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package Congress passed in March, as proof that government still works.
“In our first 100 days together, we have acted to restore people’s faith in our democracy to deliver,” Biden said.
Much of the approximately 70-minute speech was a call to action on new initiatives which, if approved, would go beyond emergency assistance. The packages Biden has proposed are filled with what the White House calls generational changes in transportation, housing, digital infrastructure, home care services, social safety net programs, child care, education, and clean energy among others.
