The first 100 days of Joe Biden's presidency began on January 20, 2021, the day Joe Biden was inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States. The first 100 days of a presidential term took on symbolic significance during Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term in office, and the period is considered a benchmark to measure the early success of a president. The 100th day of his presidency ended at noon on April 30, 2021.

Over his first 100 days, Biden signed 42 executive orders, more than any of his predecessors since Harry Truman.^[1] Many of these executive orders were reversals to Donald Trump's policies. On March 11, he signed the American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion bill to help relieve economic strain due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[2]

With the elections of Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock in Georgia, Democrats held a slim majority in both the House and the Senate.^[3] This was crucial in ensuring the passage of the American Rescue Plan, as every Republican senator voted against it.^[4]
