Biden should focus on his role of head of state to unite the country 

The primary role of the President is to enforce the laws. Simply letting the permanent government will be a nice change after four years of Prisoner 45. The body of law reflects the agreements Congress has fashioned over more than two centuries. Letting them play out is a unifying act.  Traditionally, Democrats appoint competent officials to do that. Trump did not. Biden is appointing people with proven experience. Few Republicans with such experience wanted to work for Trump, nor did he want them. It is the change we we voted for.

Biden's problem as a Catholic president is to win over Catholics for whom abortion is the only issue. His job here, one he owes fellow Democrats and fellow Catholics, is to explain why abortion cannot be banned and sell his economic policies as the only way to reduce the need of poor women (and girls) to procure them and doctors to provide them. This will involve a bit of public shaming of certain bishops. Biden the scrapper needs to bring himself to the task if he wants to unite the nation.
