Fifty days in, U.S. President Joe Biden makes strides on key campaign pledges

President Joe Biden laid out an ambitious agenda for his first 100 days in office, promising swift action on everything from climate change to immigration reform to the coronavirus pandemic. He hits his 50th day in office on Wednesday as his administration eyes a major milestone: final Congressional passage of his massive $1.9 trillion coronavirus aid package. The Bill includes direct payments to millions of Americans and money to help the White House deliver on a number of Mr. Biden’s biggest campaign promises, such as reopening schools and getting more Americans vaccinated.
