Joe Biden’s presidency, once legally confirmed, will endure challenging times and most of it will deal with reversing Donald Trump’s policies
The next four years of Joe Biden’s presidency — if he wins legal challenges from incumbent President Donald Trump — will be testing. From handling the Coronavirus pandemic efficiently to reviving the economy, countering the systemic racism in the country, climate change and re-establishing the U.S. as the world leader, he has a lot on his plate. But first, he will have to undo several policies that his predecessor Trump. During his first 100 days, Biden is expected to sign several executive orders to reverse Trump’s policies. The reason for leaning on executive orders will be due to a slow-moving Congress. While the Democrats will have House majority, the Senate majority may go to the Republicans. It will depend on two run-off elections in Georgia on January 5. As of now, the race is tied at 48 seats each while Republicans are expected to get 50 assured seats. If Democrats can win the run-off elections, then Vice-President Kamala Harris will be the tie-breaker in the Senate. Biden’s first challenge will be to control the Coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. The country has reported over 126,000 daily new cases in the last 24 hours alone. In his victory speech on Saturday night, Biden promised to form a Coronavirus task force that will be led by scientists and healthcare experts by Monday. They will work with the current White House COVID-19 task force to control the outbreak. According to the Washington Post, the task force will be co-chaired by Vivek H Murthy, the former surgeon general and David Kessler, the former Food and Drug Administration commissioner.
