Or maybe the Biden administration wants to be seen doing something just before the election. “Vote for us again so we continue doing these good things that we didn’t do during the last 4 years.”
Basically in the US, with the Presidential election, you have 2 choices: one candidate who's not going to do anything useful at all, and instead will do a bunch of highly counterproductive stuff (possibly disastrous, even), and another candidate who won't do anything disastrous, probably won't do much that's counterproductive, and maybe if you're really lucky will get something that's somewhat useful passed. Great choices, huh? But obviously one is better than the other.
