Biden Implements Last-Minute Executive Actions Ahead of Trump

As President Biden approaches the end of his term, his administration is marked by a mix of controversial legacy-building efforts and last-minute executive actions intended to solidify his influence. Biden's final days in office have seen him take significant steps such as raising federal pay, protecting national monuments, and granting temporary protected status to immigrants, all of which may create challenges for the incoming Trump administration. However, Biden's legacy is under scrutiny, with a Gallup poll indicating that a majority of Americans perceive his presidency as below average or poor. Additionally, a newly launched database aims to track former Biden appointees, potentially impacting their future employment opportunities and reflecting an ongoing partisan battle. Critics highlight Biden's cognitive health and border policy management as key blunders that could define his presidency. Amid this backdrop, Senate Democrats are reportedly delaying votes on Trump's Cabinet nominees as a form of retaliation for past GOP confirmations.
