The Joe Biden US Presidential period begins - how will he fare? The scrutiny begins!

I see he is being criticized for the Executive orders, both in terms of the fact the Dems always had a go at Trump for his use of them and for the content. The irony is that if Trump had any idea how to actually create a law and if he could actually have created laws with his crazy agenda, then Biden would not have been able to simply use an EO to cancel some of Trumps EOs. Shows that a real politician who understands this will create laws for sweeping policy decisions that then can't be easily undone by a new President, as we saw when Trump tried to dismantle the ACA that Obama put into law.

Biden's problem could still be the Senate though. Its a 50-50 tie between the parties so the VP has the deciding vote but there are enough Dems who are very moderate and will not allow a progressive agenda to be passed easily. Covid should be the focus, you can only paper over the cracks in the economy while ever that is still affecting us but the economy must come straight after that. Without a strong economy its going to be tough to finance any real initiatives he may have. Getting to 2022 intact and with some wins under his belt is also a goal, in 2022 the midterm elections will see a larger number of vulnerable GOP Senate seats come up for re-election, and if the Dems can grab a few of those while retaining their own then that Senate majority coupled with the House majority they already have will really enable him to make a real difference.
