In the remaining weeks of his administration, President Joe Biden and his officials are racing against the clock to issue billions of dollars in grants and take other steps to retain as much as possible of his legacy before President-elect Donald Trump takes over in January 2025.

Since Trump has promised to revoke any unspent funds from Biden’s climate and health care laws and end renewable energy development projects, the Biden administration is processing last-minute grants as quickly as it can. Trump and his Republican trifecta will likely move to undo much of Biden’s regulations and spending projects if they conflict with the president-elect’s agenda.
