After 100 days in office, President Joe Biden and his team haven’t produced any genuine surprises, according to NPR White House correspondent Tamara Keith.
“And that’s their goal,” the veteran journalist told MassLive in an interview. “He wants to be somebody you don’t have to think about in the morning. There’s no covfefe.”
Almost four years ago, then-President Donald Trump sparked confusion and mockery by tweeting, “Despite the constant negative press covfefe.” Keith said the tweet marked just one of many chaotic episodes that frequently made headlines during the Trump administration. Trump’s first 100 days, she said, sparked outcry and legal challenges over “haphazard” actions and unvetted executive orders, such as the ban on travel from predominantly Muslim nations.
