Incoming White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain vowed Saturday that President-elect Joe Biden will take “decisive action” on four different crises affecting the country during his first ten days in office.
In a memo to incoming senior White House staff, Klain identified the four crises as “the COVID-19 crisis, the resulting economic crisis, the climate crisis, and a racial equity crisis,” and promised Biden would take executive actions to address them.
Some of Biden’s Day-One actions will include reversing the Trump administration’s ban on travel from certain muslim-majority countries, rejoining the Paris Agreement, extending eviction protections, and launching a “100 Day Masking Challenge.” Klain said the so-called challenge will be accompanied by a mask mandate for people on federal property and for people engaging in interstate travel. (Biden announced back in December that he’d require masks on planes, trains, and buses traveling between states).
The Biden administration will also extend a pause on federal student loan payments and interest, and prevent interest from accruing for millions of borrowers, a policy first pursued by the Trump administration. The current student loan payment freeze is set to expire at the end of January. It’s not clear how long Biden wants to postpone payments.
