That they aren’t promises but goals. The Biden administration (and about every administration) works towards everything they say they’ll do, how much they get done is determined by their majority and the willingness of the opposition to work with them.

Why use the word “promise” then? Is this Newspeak?
You’ve already been told this in an earlier reply by someone else.
They promise what they’ll do. They don’t say try to do because that’s been tested in marketing and certainty sounds better.
President’s aren’t dictators, but they do have an amount of control of pushing for specific legislation, and the big “promises” are about trying to push this legislation.
Other promises can get stalled even if it’s within the president’s authority, like Biden’s student debt relief was stalled by the Supreme Court.
