In a notable shift from his 2016 campaign, Donald Trump celebrates his re-election as the 47th President of the United States with a broad national support and regained Republican control in Congress. Trump’s prior experience equips him to advance his agenda more efficiently, aided by a sympathetic Senate. However, experts warn that his power is not absolute; many lawmakers prioritize their voters’ will and the upcoming midterm elections could challenge his plans. As Trump hinted at possible retribution against political opponents, the balance of powers will remain crucial in maintaining democracy.
