As the second Trump administration prepares to take office, they do so with a mandate from the American people to clean house in the Executive Branch. The unpacking of 2024’s exit polls will no doubt continue, and there will be more lessons to learn.
However, there are several key facts in the demographic and issues-based questions that show the next administration exactly what priorities Americans want tackled first. According to every major source, the economy, immigration, and crime dominated the minds of 2024 voters and delivered Trump’s landslide electoral and popular victory. Across nearly every age, sex, and ethnic demographic, voters found Trump to be more credible and capable of handling these key issues.
Of course, on economic and immigration concerns, the federal executive branch is the primary source of the problem and the only place to implement necessary fixes. The Biden-Harris regime quickly destroyed our American economy and Trump’s gains in protecting our borders, but within days, Biden gutted those years of success. To turn these failures around, President Trump must move with equal speed in executive actions and appointments. The Republican Senate must likewise move with haste to confirm Trump appointments across the federal bench and executive agencies.
Similarly, new state legislatures and gubernatorial administrations must move quickly to stop the rampant problem of crime that is dominating U.S. cities, thanks in large part to George Soros-backed district attorneys. Several of these key Soros DAs have been ousted, but there is still much work to do in building back what has been broken.
Another less expected, but no less important, mandate came from the “Make America Healthy Again” coalition, as powerful voices like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. threw their support (and voters) behind Trump with the promise that he would unleash a house-cleaning against Big Pharma and Big Food.
By all accounts, the second-term Trump is bringing a major reckoning to every federal agency in the swamp.
