The administration is not the administration until the administration is clearly defined and confirmed. They are not able to implement policy until they have the job. As far as sending goes, that is not the President's purview, that is congress' responsibility. The reality is that while Biden may want to do certain things he is held hostage by congress. But I suspect you know this are just intentionally being obtuse.
That doesn't change what I'm saying. This plays right into the right-wing narrative. You and I might be smart enough to see the nuances but the average voter just sees that Trump gave them a cheque and Biden broke his promises.
