Donald Trump, the president-elect of the United States in 2024, has won his election. He defeated Vice President Kamala Harris after a close race.
After winning several battleground states, the former president who held office between 2017 and 2021 reclaimed his presidency.
Trump’s official return to the White House begins with his January 20th, 2025 inauguration. This is mandated by 20th Amendment in the United States Constitution.
What is the significance of Jan. 20th for US President?
In the Constitution, the date January 20th is set as the day when the power officially passes to the President-elect.
The winner of the election is usually announced shortly after the day, but they don’t assume their presidential duties before the inauguration.
The timeframe gives the President-elect the opportunity to select his cabinet and transfer responsibilities of the previous administration.
Trump takes the presidential oath on January 20 and assumes immediate presidential power.
The constitutional tradition provides continuity for administrations and gives a date of start.
Inauguration day: ceremony, swearing-in, and parade
The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremony kicks off the Inauguration day ceremonies with a procession up to the Capitol.
Around noon, the vice-president elect takes his oath.
Trump will take the oath as president, promising “faithfully to execute” his duties. He also promises to protect the Constitution.
Trump’s inaugural speech will outline the values and goals that will guide Trump’s administration.
Ses remarks are expected to be focused on the national unity of Ukraine, economic recovery and challenges in foreign policy, such as the war that is still ongoing.
Trump’s priorities for policy
Trump’s agenda is broad, ranging from the resolution of Ukraine conflict to changes in healthcare policies and immigration.
Trump, who is still president-elect up until Inauguration day, has promised to begin negotiations for a peace agreement with Ukraine before he takes office. He wants to end one of the world’s most important conflicts.
He also wants to demolish the Affordable Care Act (also known as ObamaCare) and implement stricter immigration laws.
The initiatives proposed by Trump reflect the conservative policy focus that he has always had and they highlight the stark ideological difference between Trump and his predecessor.
White House Moves into White House
Both ceremonial and logistics actions mark the transfer of power from outgoing president to his successor.
After his inauguration in January, Trump will move into the White House and assume the duties of the departing administration.
The “pass in review” will include military honors and Trump’s vice-president, who will be reviewing the armed services.
The transfer of documents, the parades and ceremonies that accompany them are symbols of democracy.
As a sign of the transition from one administration to another, the previous president makes an official departure.
The Inaugural Address
The inaugural speech provides insight on the principles that will guide a president’s administration.
Trump promised in his first 2017 address to return power to the people. This was a populist position.
Ses upcoming speech is expected to focus on themes such as American strength, prosperity and unity.
This could also be a way to show his position on pressing topics like immigration, inflation and international relations.
Trump’s emphasis on these themes will appeal both to his core and to a wider audience. He is aiming to create a collaborative tone in his administration.
Trump is poised to return to the White House and his immediate plans will include legislative initiatives as well as executive actions in order to fulfill the campaign promises he made.
Trump’s first address will be a defining moment for the rest of his presidency, particularly in terms of healthcare reform, immigration policy, and foreign relations.
Trump could face difficulties in advancing his political agenda due to the partisan divides that exist within Congress. This will require negotiation and bipartisanship.
His reelection is a reflection of the mandate he received from his supporters. This gives him a solid foundation on which to build his vision.
