As his term nears end, President Biden designates national monuments in California, removes Cuba from terror sponsor list, blocks a Japanese firm's takeover of U S Steel, extends TPS for nearly 1 million immigrants, commutes federal death row sentences, and grants a sweeping pardon to his son Hunter. He pushes expansive steps across government, with planning months in motion and possible preemptive pardons for figures facing a Trump administration.
