Joe Biden has said he will make “every day count” before he leaves the White House next year as he moved to limit oil drilling in Alaska.

In a speech from the White House rose garden, addressing Donald Trump’s historic election win, the US president suggested he would continue working on his domestic agenda until he leaves office on Jan 20.

Mr Biden moved to restrict oil extraction at the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, which has been earmarked by Mr Trump for his plan to “drill, baby, drill” from day one of his administration.

He will also continue “surging” humanitarian and military aid for Ukraine using funds already authorised by Congress, the White House said on Thursday. Mr Trump has indicated he would reduce US support for Kyiv and bring the war to an end before he takes office.

Mr Biden said: “Together, we’ve changed America for the better. Now we have 74 days to finish the term. It’s our turn.

“Let’s make every day count. That’s the responsibility we have to the American people.”

Spend every single day confirming judges. Nothing else will stick long term. He doesn't have the house so no meaningful legislation will get passed and any executive order will be undone by Trump immediately. Do nothing but confirm judges for the next three months.

This will be like that scene in King of the Hill where Hank is being car chased by the pimp. Hank slows down waiting for the green light to turn yellow. Once he makes it, he looks in his mirror smugly only to be shocked that the pimp ran the red light. “YOU CANT DO THAT!!”
