Biden’s First Week in Office

Last week, Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States — now his real work begins. 

Biden kicked off his presidency by issuing a slew of executive orders covering, among other issues, COVID-19, immigration, and racial equity. Many of these executive actions reversed Trump administration policies, while others advanced Biden campaign promises.

Meanwhile, former President Trump used his final hours in office to grant clemency to 144 individuals. Preet and Anne discuss the notable pardon recipients and snubs, and explain whether Trump could have issued a secret self-pardon.
