Today marks six months of the Biden-Harris Administration. In six months, this Administration has fueled record-breaking job growth, vaccinated over 160 million people – and captured a lot of photos along the way. Here are a few snapshots from our time in office so far:

President Biden takes the Oath of Office on January 20, 2021. You can read the President’s full inaugural address here: whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

The American Rescue Plan passes the Senate, putting checks in bank accounts and COVID-19 vaccines in the arms of tens of millions of Americans. The Rescue Plan also provided food and rent assistance, kept businesses open, and laid the foundation for today's record job growth.

President Biden visited the National Institutes for Health on February 11th to tour the vaccine research center. As of today, more than 160 million Americans are fully vaccinated thanks to our vaccine strategy and the efforts of the scientific community and frontline workers.

President Biden began his address to a joint session of Congress on April 28 with words never before spoken by a President from that podium: “Madam Speaker. Madam Vice President.”

President Biden attended the G7 on the first foreign trip of his Administration. During this trip, President Biden announced the United States would send more than half of a billion COVID-19 vaccines to countries needing them most.

On June 17th, President Biden signed legislation making Juneteenth an official holiday. In attendance at the bill signing was Ms. Opal Lee, considered by many to be the grandmother of the movement to make Juneteenth a national holiday.

Ahead of Hurricane Milton’s landfall, the Biden-Harris Administration is working around the clock to pre-position aid, personnel, and resources to save lives and livelihoods.

Here's the latest:

President Biden immediately approved emergency declarations for the State of Florida and the Seminole Tribe of Florida.

Although there are thousands of federal personnel on the ground already working on Hurricane Helene recovery, we increased the size and scope of our operation.

FEMA has staged 20 million meals and 40 million liters of water.

At President Biden’s direction, @SecDef has pre-positioned search and rescue teams, helicopters, and high-water vehicles as close to the storm as possible.

Since Hurricane Helene made landfall, there have been false claims and misinformation regarding the federal assistance available to survivors, from former President Trump, Congressional Republicans, and others.

These claims are not true. 🧵

Last month, Congress passed a short-term extension of government funding.

That funding ensured that FEMA has the funds and capability to immediately respond to extreme events like Hurricane Helene – and they're doing just that.

Before the storm hit, President Biden instructed federal agencies to pre-position critical supplies like food, water, and emergency vehicles close to affected areas.

Since then, federal personnel have distributed millions of meals and liters of water to survivors.
