It would be great if everything promised was achieved or in progress right away. But there are limits, both in the form of resources and bandwidth.
Unfortunately he most likely only has 2 years as the midterms are never kind when a party has both houses of congress and the white house.

Not to mention his razor thin margin in the senate means they have to concede so much to begin with.

This is what happened to Obama. He went all in on the ACA and then nothing else was able to get done because they were out of political capital. So this may be about it for signature legislation for Biden. It sucks, but its reality. So as we look towards 2022 and 2024, what exactly should people be excited about?
