"My priority, first and foremost, is to get the stimulus bill passed and, secondly, begin to rebuild the economy," Biden said.
The move could temper fears among some Democrats that a second Trump impeachment trial could distract from Biden's early agenda on the economy and the pandemic.
House Democrats are expected to impeach Trump a second time on Wednesday following his incitement of a deadly riot at the Capitol last week.
