Biden to sign executive orders on climate, health care, immigration in first two weeks

President Joe Biden is poised to take action on 53 executive items over the next 10 days as he seeks to rapidly reverse some Trump administration policies and implement his own, according to a document outlining the schedule for Biden’s first two weeks in office. The document shows that Biden will take executive action each weekday through the end of January, with each day centered around specific themes such as climate, economic relief, health care and immigration.

Trump, speaking from Joint Base Andrews, said he “rebuilt” the U.S. military and boasted about the strength of the economy before the coronavirus pandemic, which he spoke about in the past tense. He claimed to have ushered in a “medical miracle” with the production of two successful coronavirus vaccines, comments that come as his administration faces widespread scrutiny for its response to the pandemic and the lagged rollout of vaccinations over the last few weeks. Trump also touted his work rolling back regulations and nominating hundreds of conservative federal judges that were confirmed by the GOP-controlled Senate during his four years in office. “What we have done has bee
