Biden administration officials are working against the clock doling out billions in grants and taking other steps to try to preserve at least some of the outgoing president's legacy before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January.

Trump has pledged to rescind unspent funds in Biden's landmark climate and health care law and stop clean-energy development projects.
