President Joe Biden ’s challenge after inauguration was to end the COVID-19 pandemic and shift economy back to normal operations.

He says Biden 's vaccination program prevented more than 3.2 million American deaths and 18.5 million hospitalizations, saved US$1.15 trillion in medical costs and lost economic output.

The CHIPS Act aims to broaden participation in science and STEM education to hitherto underrepresented Americans .

Over 30 tech hubs have already been designated, such as the Elevate Quantum Tech Hub in Denver and the Wisconsin Biohealth Tech Hub .

Despite these achievements, the Biden administration has faced criticism on the science and tech front.
