Joe Biden will sign a series of executive orders during his early days, in an effort to reverse the damage done at home and abroad by Donald Trump, who will replace the Democrat as president on Wednesday.

Biden, 78, has already laid out plans to send an immigration bill and a Covid incentive and aid package to a new Democrat-controlled congress. On Friday, he said he would shake up the supply of vaccines against Covid-19, which is in chaos under Trump.

According to a memo by Chief of Staff Ron Klain released Saturday, Biden plans to have the US return to the Paris climate accords and lift the Iran nuclear deal, Trump’s travel ban against some Muslim-majority countries, evictions. and executions under the pandemic and imposing a mask mandate on federal property.

President Biden will enjoy democratic control over both houses of Congress, albeit by a narrow margin in the House and by the casting vote of Kamala Harris as vice president in a 50-50 Senate. But things in the Senate, including confirmation for Biden’s cabinet nominees, will soon be dominated by Trump’s impeachment process.

On Sunday, Klain told CNN’s State of the Union Union: “It is important that the Senate does its constitutional duty, as well as its constitutional duty, to make progress on these appointments and the urgent action the country needs.

“During the last time President Trump was tried, the Senate was able to hold confirmation hearings for nominees in the morning [and] was able to do other things. I hope that the Senate leaders find a way, on a two-pronged basis, to move forward with all of their responsibilities. This impeachment trial is one of them, but getting people into government and taking action against the coronavirus is another one of those responsibilities. “
