The Shift in American Political Alliances

Donald Trump won the election, so what should we expect once he’s in the oval office next year?

Kim Hoggard, a former staffer during the Reagan and George H W Bush administrations, says presidents can feel ‘unleashed’ during their second term. 

Today, she explains why voters chose to ignore all of Trump’s flaws and embrace his populist pitch. 

She says Trump’s victory is a fundamental shift for America, driven by voters prioritising economic concerns. 

Kim Hoggard also discusses Trump's policies, including mass deportations and sweeping tariffs, that could reshape America’s future. 

She warns that Trump’s second term could bring significant ideological shifts and increased authoritarian tendencies.
