Biden Year One

​

Through a difficult 2021, Democrats made historic progress … together with the continued heroism of our nurses, doctors, front line workers, first responders, and educators.

  • Passed a near $2 trillion rescue package, followed up with a major infrastructure bill;

  • More confirmed judges than any president at the same point in his presidency;

  • America created 5.9 million jobs — the most ever in one year — and unemployment dropped to 4.2 percent;

  • Every American, age five and over, can access a free, life-saving COVID vaccine;

  • And Biden accomplished all of the above with the narrowest congressional majority in history while the opposing party is unwilling to admit to the legitimacy of his election.
