The tradition of evaluating the accomplishments of the American president in his first 100 days in the White House goes back to the beginning of the era of President Franklin Roosevelt in 1933 when he inherited the largest economic depression disaster in the country's history that struck the United States and the world between 1929 and 1933, and to demonstrate the wisdom of Roosevelt and his leadership in the first 100 days For him, he succeeded in persuading Congress to pass 76 laws, including 15 historic laws, that led to the revival of the American economy and the employment of millions of Americans in development plans that changed the quality of life of millions of citizens.

The first 100 days give us an idea of ​​the quality of the president's leadership, and whether he has a clear road map for the future.

All presidents who succeeded Roosevelt, such as Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson, Reagan and Obama, continued to adopt the first 100-day tradition, as a stage for judging the president's accomplishments and directing his public policies both externally and internally, and became a norm for measuring the president's performance and accomplishments in his early days in power.

Meanwhile, in the cases of President John F. Kennedy and Jimmy Carter, the first 100 estimates were counterfactual.

In the first 100 days of Kennedy's rule, which began on January 20, 1960, observers expected a great failure for the inexperienced president, as he did not move strongly in that period, but Kennedy launched after that with extensive legislation and achievements that made him one of the most successful presidents in history until That he was assassinated in 1963.

On the contrary, President Carter began his rule in 1976 in a very strong way, but he quickly showed a wide decline in the face of many internal external issues, which caused his defeat after one presidential term against President Ronald Reagan in 1980.

The tradition of counting the first 100 days of a US president’s rule dates back to 1933 during the reign of President Roosevelt (European)

As for President Joe Biden, these are his most prominent pledges and internal achievements in the first 100 days:

  • More than 200 million doses of vaccine have been distributed, after the original target of 100 million doses.

Biden's foreign policy harvest in 100 days

Despite its busy domestic agenda, the Biden administration did not waste time to confirm that America has returned, by trying to restore the image of American diplomacy, revive alliances, and effectively return to international organizations, after 4 years of the rule of Donald Trump, who adopted the principle of "America first".

The Biden team moved with remarkable speed to restore America's leadership role at the global level, and Biden's foreign policy features began to appear in a way that distinguishes him, not only from his predecessor Donald Trump, but from Barack Obama as well, according to The Economist.
