President-elect Joe Biden plans to issue executive orders reversing a number of President Trump’s policies as soon as he takes office, The Washington Post reported Saturday.
The report comes hours after Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election.
People close to Biden’s plans told the Post that he plans to rejoin the Paris climate accords, which the U.S. officially left on Wednesday. He’s also reportedly planning to reverse the U.S.’s withdrawal from the World Health Organization, which is slated to take effect July 6, 2021.
Biden also wants to immediately repeal the ban on immigration that targeted many Muslim-majority countries and reinstate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, according to the Post.
During his campaign, Biden pledged to take action on all of these issues on his first day in office.
Even though he was declared the winner on Saturday, Biden has already started transition planning. The New York Times reported Friday that he is planning to announce his choices for Cabinet positions around Thanksgiving should he win the election.
