President-elect Joe Biden is planning to quickly sign a series of executive orders after being sworn into office on Jan. 20, immediately forecasting that the country's politics have shifted and that his presidency will be guided by radically different priorities.
He will rejoin the Paris climate accords, according to those close to his campaign and commitments he has made in recent months, and he will reverse President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the World Health Organization. He will repeal the ban on immigration from many Muslim-majority countries, and he will reinstate the program allowing "dreamers," who were brought to the United States illegally as children, to remain in the country, according to people familiar with his plans.

WNU Editor: No surprises in the above Washington Post report. After inauguration day President Biden's focus will be on issuing executive orders to reverse everything that President Trump has done. Even though the Washington Post downplays it, I also expect mass firings.
After the State of the Union address in February 2021, it then gets interesting. To pursue their legislative agenda the Biden administration will need 2 Republican Senators to support their policies (I expect the Republicans will win both senate seats in Georgia in January). I give them a 50-50 chance that they may succeed.
I also expect the following.
After the State of The Union, President Biden's public appearances are going to be completely scaled back.
We will only see him in choreographed and controlled settings with a friendly journalist.
Expect a lot of cool pictures. Definitely expect a lot of cool pictures.
Do not look forward to a Biden press conference.
There will definitely be no daily scrums with the press that President Trump always enjoyed when walking to Marine One.
We are definitely entering a different Presidency from the Trump Presidency.
President Trump said it best after his Covid-19 diagnosis. As President of the United States you cannot hide in the basement.
I expect President Biden will hide in the White House.
You cannot run the United States like that in today's world. But that is what is going to happen.
