By HWM: The second presidency of Donald Trump is expected to begin on January 20, 2025, when Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States.
Trump was elected after the 2024 presidential election. Upon taking office, he will become the second president in U.S. history to serve non-consecutive terms after Grover Cleveland in 1893, the oldest individual to assume the presidency, and the first convicted felon to serve the presidency following his conviction in March 2024.
Donald Trump officially announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination in the 2024 United States presidential election on November 15, 2022, at his Mar-a-Lago residence in a roughly hour-long speech, seeking the nomination of the Republican Party.
In March 2024, Trump became the presumptive nominee for the Republican Party following the party’s presidential primaries. Trump picked Ohio senator JD Vance, a former critic of his, as his running mate, and the two were formally nominated as the Republican ticket at the 2024 Republican National Convention.
Incumbent president Joe Biden initially ran for re-election for the Democratic nomination, becoming the party’s presumptive nominee in March 2024 after comfortably winning the primaries with little opposition.
“… concerns about his age and health …”
However, following a widely panned debate performance and amid increasing concerns about his age and health, Biden officially withdrew from the race in July 2024. Biden endorsed Kamala Harris, his 2020 running mate and vice president of the United States, as his successor, who announced her campaign on July 21, 2024.
The following day, Harris received enough non-binding delegates to become the party’s new presumptive nominee; at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in August 2024, she formally accepted the party’s nomination.
On November 6, 2024, Trump flipped Wisconsin from the Democrats, receiving what AP wrote, that the victory validates Trump’s bare-knuckles approach to politics. He had attacked Harris in deeply personal terms as he pushed an apocalyptic picture of a country overrun by violent migrants. The coarse rhetoric, paired with an image of hypermasculinity, resonated with angry voters – particularly men – in a deeply polarized nation enough electoral votes to secure the presidency.
The electoral votes will be certified on January 6, 2025.
“… the first Millennial vice president …”
Trump, upon taking office, will be the second president in U.S. history to serve non-consecutive terms after Grover Cleveland in 1893, the oldest individual to assume the presidency, and the first convicted felon to serve the presidency following his conviction in March 2024.
Vance, as one of the youngest vice presidents in U.S. history, will be the first Millennial vice president; additionally, he will be the first president to have served in the Marine Corps.
Administration
Cabinet
Trump has proposed multiple candidates for several Cabinet positions, including hedge fund investor John Paulson or Scott Bessent for secretary of the Treasury.
Vice presidency
In July 2024, Trump selected Ohio senator JD Vance as his running mate at that year’s Republican National Convention.
Vance was supported by Donald Trump Jr., Elon Musk, and Tucker Carlson and bolstered by a series of media events, including a contentious primary debate with Josh Mandel and Mike Gibbons, an affirmation of his support for Trump in The Wall Street Journal as Ron DeSantis advanced in conservative media, and a cooperative visit to East Palestine, Ohio, following a train derailment in February 2023.
Other positions
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaccine activist who ran against Trump but withdrew his nomination, has privately discussed a senior health role in Trump’s second presidency. Kennedy stated that Trump “asked me to clean up corruption and conflicts at the agencies and to end the chronic disease epidemic” in an interview with The Washington Post in October 2024.
Trump has promised to establish a “government efficiency commission” led by Elon Musk.
Domestic affairs
Economy
Trump has promised to impose higher tariffs on imports from all countries, particularly China.
Immigration
Trump intends to expand and revive immigration policies he imposed during his first presidency, including his travel ban on Muslims, expel asylum seekers by asserting that they carry infectious diseases, deputize police officers and soldiers to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement in mass deportations, and establish sprawling detention camps, according to The New York Times.
Prosecutions
In September 2024, Trump stated that “those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law”. He threatened to prosecute Meta Platforms chief executive Mark Zuckerberg for donating US$400 million to election agencies during the COVID-19 pandemic in Save America (2024).
Trump is expected to end the Department of Justice’s prosecutions against him in Washington, D.C., and Florida. Special counsel Jack Smith is considering ending his prosecutions early and submitting a final report to Attorney General Merrick Garland before Trump is inaugurated, according to The Washington Post.
Inauguration
Trump is expected to be inaugurated at the United States Capitol on January 20, 2025.
