Democrats press Biden to protect executive branch from Trump’s return

Capitol Hill Democrats are urging President Biden to take aggressive unilateral actions in the final weeks of his administration to protect his policy achievements and safeguard federal agencies from Donald Trump’s planned restructuring.

With Republicans in control of the House, Biden is seen as a critical safeguard against Trump’s promised “deep state” purge.

Democrats are pushing for new executive orders, last-minute regulations, and funding allocation to counteract potential rollbacks.

Key areas of concern include worker protections, Ukraine aid, and environmental safeguards, The Hill has reported.

While acknowledging limitations, they urge Biden to act decisively to fortify federal agencies before Trump’s return.
