The 2020 COVID relief wasn’t as much argued on Keynesian stimulus terms as, say, the 2009 ARRA stimulus, but more as disaster relief.

It goes both ways. The government closed businesses, but also gave them resources to stay in business. You can argue it was Keynesian, but you can also argue it wasn't.

However, pretty much everything Biden did, was Keynesian.
