President-Elect of the United States, Donald Trump will, upon swearing-in today, January 20, 2025 sign dozens of his campaign promises.
Trump on Sunday pledged to issue “close to 100” executive orders on his first day in office. Many of these orders will be designed to reverse or eliminate ones implemented by the Biden administration
Stephen Miller, Trump’s incoming Deputy Chief of Staff for policy, previewed some of those actions Sunday afternoon on a call with senior congressional Republicans
Two sources briefed on the call described it as a rundown of what lawmakers should expect, rather than an in-depth policy briefing
Trump’s policy operation was expected to deliver more details to Capitol Hill allies later Sunday, the sources said
They cautioned the scale and pace leading up to the inauguration have made communication and information fluid.

He added, “With the stroke of my pen I will revoke dozens of destructive and radical executive orders and actions of the Biden administration, and by this time tomorrow, they will all be null and void.”
