Joe Biden may preemptively pardon until the end of his term individuals who risk falling out of favor with the newly elected US President Donald Trump, writes The Washington Post, citing its sources.
Although many White House officials are already packing their bags before Trump's inauguration, scheduled for January 20, the administration expects Biden to sign several more executive orders in his remaining time. The Democrat may take measures to combat gender discrimination.
According to the publication, Biden's activity at the end of his presidential term “demonstrates his belief that Trump poses a unique threat to American traditions.“
In early December 2024, Trump, in an interview with the television channel NBC News, said that he would not seek revenge for his opponents, in his opinion, the best way to take revenge would be the success of the United States.
Trump's inauguration ceremony is scheduled for January 20. Trump won the presidential election on November 5, 2024, defeating the Democratic candidate for US Vice President Kamala Harris.
