U.S. President Donald Trump has planned a week full of activities in the lead up to his 100th day in office, which falls on April 29.

The White House is working with congressional Republican leaders to make another attempt to replace the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare, after a repeal effort failed in March. On April 26, Trump will unveil his tax-reform plan and principles for rate cuts, but it’s expected to lack details. The administration and Congress are also working to avoid a government shutdown, which is slated to occur on April 29 if lawmakers can’t agree on a funding plan before then.

Trump plans to mark the 100-day point of his presidency with a campaign-style rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
