Biden Plans Ambitious First 100-Day Agenda

Rob Garver

   WASHINGTON - President-elect Joe Biden is promoting a $1.9 trillion
   economic relief package to a country battered by a year-long pandemic
   that will have killed over 400,000 Americans and sickened tens of
   millions more before he takes office this week.

   The proposal announced Thursday evening is an aggressive start for an
   administration that will have only slim Congressional majorities to
   work with, especially as it comes layered atop a policy agenda packed
   with a wide array of Democratic priorities. These range from combatting
   climate change to safeguarding voting rights to reforming America's
   immigration system.
