Joe Biden was inaugurated as President of the United States, after winning the United States Presidential Election with 306 electoral votes, ahead of competitor and incumbent Donad Trump who only won 232 electoral votes.
Long before he was inaugurated, this senior Democrat politician had implied that he would make a number of significant changes, from Donald Trump's Republican Party policies.
On his first day in office, Biden immediately signed at least 15 executive orders related to economic issues, dealing with pandemics, climate change, to revoke emergency funding for the construction of a hole in the United States-Mexico border and lift travel bans on a number of Muslim-majority countries.
All of this is related to policies that were said to be controversial when Donald Trump was president. Biden even created a special task force to reunite parents with their separated children on the Mexican border. This includes lifting the ban on transgender people from joining the United States military.
As for foreign affairs, Biden brought the United States back to the path of diplomatic communication with the international community, including rejoining the WHO, re-knitting the 2015 Nuclear Agreement with Iran, the climate change agreement to the disbursement of aid to Palestine. Biden also proposed a Citizenship Act that allows 11 million illegal immigrants to gain US citizenship.
Economy to Police ReformThe economic sector and handling the COVID-19 pandemic are two sectors that are the main concern of Joe Biden. For pandemic management, from the target of 100 million doses of vaccine given in the first 100 days of office. Joe Biden was able to reach the 200 million vaccine mark on April 21.
"All states must provide the COVID-19 vaccine to all eligible adults, by May 1," said Joe Biden in his speech from the East Room of the White House, Washington DC, United States.

"This is a once-in-a-generation investment in the United States, unlike anything we've seen or done since we built the interstate highway system, as well as the space race decades ago," Biden said in a speech from Pittsburgh.
The next complicated issues that 'challenged' Biden in his first 100 days were racism, possession of firearms, to police reform, all of which were related.
The rise of brutal shootings in a number of locations, some of which were related to the issue of racism, led Biden to issue a strong condemnation of racism and call the shootings a pandemic.
Accompanied by Attorney General Merrick Garland, President Joe Biden announced limited steps to limit the circulation of firearms among civilians.
"Today we are taking steps to deal with not only an arms crisis, but what is really a public health crisis. This is an epidemic, for God's sake, and must be stopped," said President Joe Biden, as reported by Reuters on April 9.

"We need to work together to find a consensus. Let's finish it next month, on the first anniversary of George Floyd's death (May 25)," said Biden.
Despite this, President Joe Biden praised the United States Police, saying most men and women in uniform with badges, served the public with respect.
However, he said Congress needed to restore confidence in law enforcement, end racism in the criminal justice system and give meaning to the words of George Floyd's daughter, who according to Biden told him, 'Dad changed the world'.
