We're about a week into the Joe Biden Presidency, and people from both sides of the political aisle are already picking apart policies and his template for his first 100 days. Rather than make a premature judgment on how this is going to shake out, I think it's more prudent to take a look at what—thematically—we should be looking for in the first few months of his time in office.
Up until now, Biden has been a good antidote for a fractured American political climate. He's preached togetherness and progress. He's winning on the basis of not being Trump, and for a guy, as seasoned as he is, that's probably not a bad tactic to take. But if that's his approach to the first 100 days, I think, like many of his predecessors, Americans will be looking for more. Given the difficult environment he inherited (a challenging economy, a deadly pandemic, lack of faith in institutions), I actually think the American people would be well-served to look at Biden's second
hundred days as opposed to his first. We don't elect Presidents solely to put out fires. We elect them to build things. I don't think he'll get a chance to build much over the next 3+ months, and as such, that doesn't seem to be his priority.
