What is Trump's stance on abortion rights?: Trump's stance on abortion remains ambiguous; while claiming state-level decisions, he's avoided committing to a national ban. His Supreme Court appointments, however, have led to significant restrictions on abortion access in many states.
How would Trump's foreign policy differ in a second term?: Trump's "America First" isolationist foreign policy would likely return. This would include renegotiating international agreements, potentially reducing US involvement in global conflicts like the war in Ukraine, and prioritizing bilateral deals.
What are Trump's main immigration plans for a second term?: A second Trump term would likely involve a continuation of his hardline immigration policies, including mass deportations and border wall expansion. He also plans further tax cuts and increased tariffs, potentially escalating trade conflicts with China.
How might Trump change the staffing of the federal government?: A second Trump administration would likely see a significant shift in personnel, replacing career civil servants with loyalists. This raises concerns about potential bias and lack of experience within the administration, yet Trump supporters see it as crucial for efficiency.
What are the differing views on Trump's impact on American democracy?: Concerns exist regarding Trump's potential threat to democracy. Democrats cite his challenges to the 2020 election results and actions on January 6th, 2021, as evidence. Republicans view a second term as restoring populist rule and protecting constitutional principles.
