WASHINGTON - One month into the job, President Joe Biden is on the cusp of securing a bigger economic rescue package than during the 2009 financial crisis. He has wiped out his predecessor Donald Trump’s policies from climate change to travel bans, while the U.S. daily COVID-19 vaccine distribution rate grew 55%.
Biden has made many of the changes he has clear authority to do by executive action. Landmines going forward include pushing laws on which the Democratic Party is divided, such as college debt relief, tax hikes and curbs on the energy industry. The bill only needs a majority vote, because it will be passed as part of a process called reconciliation, but that requires every Democrat to side with the White House. Doubts are growing that the bill will include a provision raising the federal minimum wage to $15, which would sorely disappoint liberal Democrats.
A comprehensive White House-backed immigration bill unveiled on Feb. 18 is not expected to pass the Senate; the second-ranked Democrat, Dick Durbin, is among those suggesting a less-ambitious effort that focuses on immigrants brought to the United States as children. “He’s enjoying a honeymoon period, but everyone knows that honeymoon’s going to come to an end,” Shumaker said.White House aides say the policy agenda they plan to push in the coming months has bipartisan voter appeal, and they believe Republicans in Congress could ultimately be forced to support it by their constituents.
Biden’s early polling numbers suggest that will be a challenge. Some 56% of Americans approve of his performance as president, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted in mid-February, but just 20% of Republicans.
I wouldn’t call fixing and cleaning up the Republicans mess left behind by trump a honeymoon, now he has to clean up and fix another Republican mess in Texas, while SenTedCruz vacations in Mexico 🇲🇽!!
Good!!!!
LOL... his entire career was a honeymoon.... been in the office for three terms so far...
Continuing oil drilling? Continuing mass deportations? No stimulus as promised? What rock do you people live under?

His honeymoon will be Never-ending
I feel we’re over using the word Honeymoon this week... especially considering: 1- Biden is 78yo, and a major compromise to get rid of Trump; 2- Everyone is incredibly travel (and potentially love) starved as we round the 1yr mark of the pandemic. WordsMatter PoliNerd
Easy money for all. Don't work. People seeing Netflix and waiting Easy money while banks Buy back shares. All happy.
Not sure how taking office after an insurrection incited by Trump &. Co is a honeymoon, given that we are in a pandemic that Trump failed to manage in the hope that it would only kill people of color.
Does this mean you're going to start doing journalism again? Fantastic!
You call honeymoon 100,000 deaths? He needs to be held accountable for all those deaths under his watch... he's responsible. The rules have been made.
He's still a paid for ass
Honeymoon for who? TDS idiots who hate the US?
Does he still remember he’s President?
Why does news outlets think we are this stupid to actually read and believe that his first month was a honeymoon?
Just a few highlights of his first 4 weeks in the office!
A honeymoon would’ve involved giving people their long needed stimulus checks
The way the media treats him, his whole term will be a honeymoon. EnemyOfThePeople
He's the president. He knows it's a hard job. Trump only president thought white house was an apprentice show.
Biden's first month was non stop work! And he did a great job.
Like his 25th amendment removal?
He cured Covid. He should get a Pulitzer Prize!
Reuters, Shame on you🤬
As long as Biden & Harris maintain a majority in all levels of government they will continue to be a powerhouse of good for all American people. Maybe not the mega-rich but who cares about them.
Caribbean tan on his oil guzzling yacht ?
Honeymoon or non media coverage of him killing america? 🤔
I am not sure ‘honeymoon’ is the right word considering the issues he has been dealing with in the last month.
From the point Joe took over and if the next 30 days looked like a honeymoon. Then I say he has done great job without much noise. 👍🏼
His first month was a Totalitarian Executive order rush to continue bringing the American people to heel.
The term honeymoon could not be better suited for someone who is constantly sleeping.
A honeymoon of dreams when u do sweet fuck all

All the years will be his honeymoon
Biden's first month was a honeymoon because he spent those days in the bed, mostly.
Finished honeymoon. Now there are huge ...
The best choice I've made this year was investing in cryptocurrency and forex trading and earning from home. With the help of Michelle_Brian1 I've been earning $ 23k weekly I've never regretted this decision. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Nothing like starting a honeymoon with a pandemic, impeachment trials, Americans starving, losing jobs, then throw in a natural disaster.
