Click here for an article in The New York Times by Naftali Bendavid entitled "Trump claims mantle of FDR’s first 100 days, but differences are stark," subtitled "Roosevelt’s opening act yielded major new laws, while Trump governs largely by executive order." (Roosevelt passed 16 major new laws; Trump passed four -- only one of which could be considered a major new law, "the Laken Riley Act, which allows the detention of undocumented immigrants accused of theft-related crimes." Biden passed 11.)
A key sentence: “We’re forging a new political majority that is shattering and replacing
Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal coalition, which dominated American
politics for nearly 100 years,” he said.
