JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.

Joe Biden spent his first hours as president trying to obliterate much of the Trump dministration’s deregulatory agenda, restore public land protections and reestablish the United States as a global leader on climate change policy. Biden sat in the Oval Office and signed a sweeping executive order to rejoin the Paris Agreement and undo President Trump’s rollback of greenhouse gas policies, among other detrimental things at a cost of $3 billion.
