Trump has pledged to “drain the swamp” if elected, and a big part of that would be dismantling rules imposed under Biden and curbing the administrative state.
Trump allies and congressional Republicans have been plotting how to undo the rulemaking under the Biden administration and roll back the expansion of the administrative state, a term used to describe executive branch agencies that have the power to write and enforce rules with little input or direction from Congress.
“Every single one of us in the Republican House are working really hard and anticipating a return of Trump to the White House,” Rep. Kat Cammack , one of the key Republicans plotting regulatory reform, told the. “We believe that a rollback of all of the executive action that Biden took, which has effectively crippled our economy and so many of our industries — that’s going to be step one when we’re talking about the regulatory regime.
The reclassification would cover some 50,000 policy-influencing positions in the federal government, said James Sherk, the America First Policy Institute’s director of the Center for American Freedom. The America First Policy Institute is one of the main groups developing a conservative policy platform that can be used by a future presidential administration.
Crews said Trump’s team has likely begun planning to begin reversing course on Biden-era rulemaking on the first day of his presidency.Crews said Trump is also expected to restore his executive order that required that, for every single new rule or regulation, two old regulations on the books must be eliminated.
The REINS Act describes a “major rule” as any federal rule or regulation that may result in an annual economic effect of more than $100 million, a major increase in consumer prices, or adverse effects on competition, employment, and investment, among other strictures.
