Biden Administration

The Biden Administration refers to the current US presidential administration, led by President Joe Biden. President Biden was inaugurated on January 20, 2021, succeeding Donald Trump as the 46th president of the United States. The Biden Administration has set a number of priorities in its early days, including responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, addressing climate change, and promoting racial and social justice. The administration has also taken steps to reverse many of the policies put in place by the Trump Administration, including rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, halting the construction of the border wall with Mexico, and working to undo the travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries. The Biden Administration faces many challenges, both domestically and internationally, but has shown a willingness to take bold action and pursue a progressive agenda.
