What Joe Biden has promised to do on "Day One" and in his first 100 days as president
For almost two years, Joe Biden has been telling Americans what he plans to do on his first day in office — and the next 99 — if elected to be the nation's 46th president.
In speeches, interviews, and in at least 49 published plans throughout his presidential campaign, Mr. Biden talked about the actions he'd take in the earliest days of his administration — what he would do if he triumphed in what he saw as a "battle for the soul of the nation" against President Trump.

Incoming White House chief of staff Ron Klain distributed a memo Saturday that reiterated Mr. Biden's intention to fulfill several of his promises — some geared toward immediate action to arrest the surging coronavirus pandemic, some to roll back the actions taken by President Trump in the last four years, and others to address problems that have persisted over several administrations.
The initiatives include around a dozen of executive actions he can enact alone as president on the first day in office, January 20. Here are a few of the highlights:
Responding to COVID-19
Issue mask mandate on federal property and inter-state travel;
Extend nationwide restrictions on home evictions and foreclosures;
Continue to pause student loan payments;
Push for passage of $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief legislative package announced last week.
Overturning Trump actions
Rejoin the Paris climate agreement;
End so-called "Muslim ban" on travel, which in 2017 restricted travel and immigration to the U.S. from Syria, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen, before adding Eritrea, Nigeria, Myanmar, Kyrgyzstan, and Tanzania in 2020.
Klain said the president-elect would continue to roll out other executive actions throughout the first two weeks of the new administration.
