Over his first 100 days, Biden signed 42 executive orders, more than any of his predecessors since Harry Truman. Many of these executive orders were reversals to Donald Trump's policies. On March 11, he signed the American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion bill to help relieve economic strain due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the elections of Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock in Georgia, Democrats held a slim majority in both the House and the Senate. This was crucial in ensuring the passage of the American Rescue Plan, as every Republican senator voted against it.
