President Joe Biden has 73 days left until his administration concludes. Now a lame-duck president, questions arise about what actions he may take in his final weeks in office.

In the past, former President George W. Bush approved bailouts for auto manufacturers during his closing months. Will Biden follow suit with similar measures, such as support for Ukraine or Gaza? Will there be moves toward loan forgiveness or bailouts for Black farmers? Many are also speculating on whether he might consider pardoning his son, Hunter Biden.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s transition team is assembling potential candidates for his administration. Could former staffers make a return, or will he appoint figures like Elon Musk or John F. Kennedy Jr. to positions in his cabinet?

One key appointment has already been announced. Trump revealed that his campaign co-chair, Susie Wiles, will serve as the first woman to hold the role of White House chief of staff in his administration. Wiles has a background as a campaign strategist for numerous Republican leaders.
