Donald J. Trump is headed to the White House again. He’ll have the help of a Republican Senate, almost certainly a Republican House, and a conservative Supreme Court that includes three justices he appointed the first time around. The former president made plenty of pledges on the campaign trail — now it’s time to see what’s actually possible.
Vox explains the agenda for Trump’s second term. We take a look at what Trump’s victory means for reproductive freedom and antipoverty programs, how his calls for tariffs will transform the economy, the realities of a plan for mass deportations, and more. We track Trump’s promises and policies — on everything from artificial intelligence to Middle East policy — and how Americans are reacting in the wake of his historic win.
We hope this coverage will cut through the chaos of the post-election months. Please keep checking back as we add stories and build out a guide to what to expect for the next four years.
