President Joe Biden recently announced that he will not seek reelection, highlighting several key accomplishments from his first and only term in office.

Gun Safety Legislation

One of Biden's notable achievements is passing the first gun safety law in 30 years. In June 2022, he signed a bipartisan gun safety bill into law following tragic mass shootings in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, New York. The legislation includes provisions for school safety, mental health programs, state crisis intervention initiatives, and incentives for states to enhance background checks for gun purchases.

President Biden made history by appointing the first African American woman to the Supreme Court. Ketanji Brown Jackson, a former appellate court judge from Washington DC, became the first Black woman to serve on the nation's highest court, fulfilling one of Biden's key campaign promises.

Climate Legislation

Biden also achieved a significant milestone by passing the most substantial climate legislation in the world's history. The Inflation Reduction Act includes a $370 billion clean energy and climate package, marking the largest climate investment in American history. The legislation aims to reduce carbon emissions by 40% by 2030 and offers tax incentives to promote the adoption of renewable energy sources for electricity and transportation.

President Biden's term has been marked by these impactful accomplishments, demonstrating his commitment to addressing critical issues such as gun safety, diversity in the judiciary, and climate change.
