The first two years of the Biden administration have included huge legislative victories: a major bipartisan infrastructure deal, a technology bill, a veterans’ health bill, a gun safety bill, and a package of new investments in climate and health care.
Of course, President Biden didn’t get everything he wanted; no president does. Even with these major bills, he has fallen substantially short of some of his legislative goals.
With the midterms less than three weeks away, The Upshot examined the president’s policy goals and Congress’s successes in previously unreported detail. We matched every single line of spending and revenue in the jobs and families plans from Mr. Biden’s 2022 budget with cost estimates for the five large policy bills passed by Congress in the last year.
