ali vitali is covering the biden traditi transition for us.e biden team preparing for the first days in office amidst all of this unrest and deep concern? >> reporter: well, alex, there are the things that they knew they were going to have to prepare for and the things that they are now being forced to prepare for. on the expected front, we know that the biden transition team has placed a large number of priorities on getting covid under control and especially figuring out the most efficient way to get the coronavirus vaccine disseminated. that remains a top priority for this group of people. but now they're also seeing these mounting calls for impeachment both from democrats and now some republicans. that's going to bleed into the early part of biden's term in office. though, we are hearing this morning from some, including jim clyburn saying that maybe the house could move on impeachment itself but wait to send the senate those articles of impeachment giving biden some time to figure out his first 100 days in office. listen to clyburn this m

let's go to ali vitali. what will president biden tackle on day one?ter: look, alex, in this new memo that we've obtained from incoming white house chief of staff ron klain to incoming white house senior staff, they are listing a wide array of agenda items, things that we heard president-elect biden talk about on the campaign trail. we heard them emphasized during these days of the transition, but we're getting a sense of what the first ten days will look like as biden pushes ahead with his agenda and accomplishes the parts of it that he can do through executive actions. i want the control room to pull up what they want to do on day one. you're going to recognize a lot of these agenda items, reserving the muslim ban, rejoining the paris climate accord, extending limits on evictions and moratorium of student loan payments, americans are going to have to wear a mask for the first 100 days of his administration and order agencies to figure out how to reunite the children that are still separated from their parents when they came to the border, seeking to

ali vitali is in wilmington, delaware. executive actions and the moves going on the calendar for day one and what those mean for folks watching at home. >> reporter: hallie, you really laid it out. we have a jam packed week ahead of us. amid the inauguration you have biden making a lot of legislative pushes as soon as he's inaugurated into office. a lot of these things are things we heard about out on the campaign trail, things like rejoining the paris climate agreement, reversing the muslim ban, also continuing the moratorium on evictions and student loan payments for those who are still just being bogged down by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the resulting economic recession. all of those things, though, are the literal day one items, there were a lot of promises on the campaign trail about what would happen on day one, but day one is now more of a theme spread out over ten days because if you move to thursday which is the second day of the biden administration, you're seeing him do things like expanding covid test

let's go to alley vitali. welcome to you. how does the president-elect feel about the prospect of an impeachment trial that to mitch mccconnell's point would occupy the first days in congress? >> reporter: alex, this is a really delicate balance lancing act. they have a laundry list of priorities that do not include impeachment including they want to tackle vaccine dissemination. they need to get covid under control. if they get covid under control, they have long said that's what they need to do in order to get the economy back on track. of course though there's also the reality that biden has talked about which is the need for this country to heal. that was a priority even before the events of this week, but certainly this most dire twist in the transition shows that that needs to be a top priority as well. biden though not waiting in d w saying trump is not fit to hold office. yesterday in a press conference he was repeatedly pressed on the idea and ultimately he concluded we're going to do our job on the transition side,
