Biden plans executive actions that would undo Trump's policies

    President-elect Joe Biden has begun his transition from campaign mode to policy enacting mode. As the results of America’s election week become clear, Biden has made known some of his concrete plans to make good on his campaign promises. A tweet from the Biden-Harris Twitter account listed “protecting and preserving our nation’s health, renewing our opportunity to succeed, advancing racial equity, and fighting the climate crisis” as top priorities once they assume office. More specifically, Biden is supposed to unveil his COVID-19 taskforce comprised of 12 people to address the current pandemic. Additionally, Biden has announced that he will rejoin the Paris climate accord, one step of many in returning U.S. foreign policy to a method reminiscent of the Obama administration. Biden will also reinstate the DACA program, as well as restore rights for transgender students, both of which had been threatened under the Trump administration.
