By all accounts, President Joe Biden had quite the busy first day in office following his inauguration on January 20.
According to USA Today, he has already signed 15 executive orders and two other directives, with more expected to come within the next 10 days. As my colleague Ryan Ford discussed, many of these served as reversals of his predecessor's policies regarding climate change, travel and immigration restrictions, and how best to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic.
But while his first actions in office mark a clear difference between him and Donald Trump, that difference also presents itself in the values and figures that Biden has chosen to represent in the Oval Office.
