Biden’s executive orders address discriminatory systems
President Joe Biden Jr. was sworn into office on Jan. 20, 2021. In his first day in office, Biden immediately began issuing executive orders that demonstrated his commitment to shifting policy away from Donald Trump’s administration. Despite the controversy surrounding President Biden’s victory over incumbent Trump, particularly the riots at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 by a pro-Trump mob, Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20 went smoothly and ushered in a new era of American administration. At the time of writing, President Biden has already issued 42 executive orders in his first few weeks in office.
