The President-elect Trump who will take the oath of office on Monday is a radically different figure than the one who shook up Washington eight years go.
This Trump knows more about how Washington works. Trump 1.0 wanted to change Washington, but Trump 2.0 is set up better to succeed, and the president-elect is equipped with a highly capable chief of staff in Susie Wiles, who has infused more discipline into his operation.

Nearly half of Americans don’t believe that the incoming Trump administration will lower health costs, according to a new Gallup poll.
The research, conducted after the presidential election, found 48 percent of Americans are pessimistic about the new administration’s ability to lower healthcare costs, while 45 percent feel the same about prescription drug costs.
But much of the public’s opinion is colored by partisanship. The poll found 84 percent of Dem...

Trump’s impending downfall: The promises he will never be able to keep
Here’s advice for congressional Democrats as Trump starts his second stint in the White House: "When the enemy is making a false movement, we must take good care not to interrupt him."

The sense of impending doom for House Republicans was first evident during the presidential campai...

Will the ‘real’ Speaker Johnson please stand up?
House Republicans reelected Mike Johnson (R-La.) as Speaker on Jan. 2. Conservative firebrands set aside their anger about the last-minute budget deals Johnson cut with Democrats, which averted multiple government shutdowns, to provide the narrow margin of victory.

The effort has Trump leaning into his undis...
