All legal residents of a state over age 18 get to vote in federal elections.
All federal elections must have paper trails.
Provide money to make these things happen.
Massive stimulus with automatic stabilizers
Testing and medical supplies as part of the stimulus
Reform ACA to get rid of parts that GOP is using to strike law down
Climate Change
Increase revenue/raise taxes

I'm not sure what role Congress has in eliminating gerrymandering, but throw that in, too.

I did find an article with a list (not sure if similar to yours) but article also pointed out likely not the real list as there are too many to really focus on the first 100 days vs his 4 years. I want to know the 2-3-4-5 things he's going to push for and spend political capital in his first 100 days.

(1) Upgrading pandemic response is a no brainer & so is (2) stabilizing the economy via stimulus etc.

I'm guessing (3) some sort of Bidencare initiative and laying the groundwork for (4) rolling back tax cuts for those > $400K and other tax related matters.

From your list, I doubt DC or PR statehood makes it in the first 100 days.
