The Biden Administration is unique in Democratic party history.

[speak easy]

This is the first Democratic administration in 120 years to return to the White House after only 4 years on the outside. Almost all the staff/appointees from the previous administration were available for the new president to choose from.

No-one have had to learn the levers of power, and how to exercise them. The wasn't FDR's New Yorkers in 1933, Jimmy Carter's Georgians in '76, or the Little Rock ensemble in '93.

And the Administration is led by a man with the the most intimate knowledge of the Obama Adminstration of all.

So what do you do, if you have almost no learning curve on Day 1?

IMO, you start governing in the transition period - taking the decisions you would normally undertake after inauguration.

And this I think is what we are seeing. The Covid relief Bill was ready to go. So too is HR.1. How much of the Infrastructure-Reconstruction bill on paper, I don't know, but I'm sure a lot of the hard work is already done.

The Administration may appear to be moving at breakneck speed, but there is one thing you can't fake - being prepared.
