For example, adaptation actions such as pandemic preparedness are expected to be stronger under a Biden presidency than under a Trump presidency, as shown by the current administration's COVID-19 response. Although a Biden presidency would be expected to advance planetary health more than a second Trump term, there are likely to be limits to these benefits.	./cache/cord-268947-rh6n0u9n.txt	./txt/cord-268947-rh6n0u9n.txt
