With little time left to force his liberal agenda on the United States, President Joe Biden and his administration have launched a “striking escalation” of rules and regulations that conservative critics hope President-elect Donald Trump can reverse once in office.

Over the past month, the administration has broken the record for the number of pages of regulations in Uncle Sam’s book of rules, the Federal Register.

And this year, the administration has pushed through a high number of economically impactful rules, those with a hit of $100 million or more.

Conservatives are hopeful that the incoming Trump administration is paying attention to the Biden administration’s bid to lock in the red tape. Trump and Congress could reverse some of the costliest regulations through the arcane Congressional Review Act.

“The Federal Register’s page count hit 101,836 on Tuesday, surpassing the 2016 Obama-era record of 95,894 pages. This marks a striking escalation in regulatory intensity,” said Clyde Wayne Crews of the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

The regulation watchdog added in his latest blog shared with Secrets, “What matters for those aiming to overturn Biden administration rules is the sharp increase in completed major rules: 146 in total across the spring and fall 2024 agendas, compared to 91 in 2023. Among these, some rules from the spring agenda and the 49 completed major rules in the fall agenda may be especially vulnerable to [Congressional Review Act] challenges by the 119th Congress and the incoming administration. That’s not even counting a broader set of 114 ‘other significant’ rules completed in the fall agenda.”

Trump has promised to eliminate dozens of Biden-era regulations, including those related to the Green New Deal and energy production. His incoming budget and management team have been champions of curbing regulations.
