Previewing the Presidential Inauguration

What's ahead in the Trump Administration, a narrowly-divided Congress,

and this election's aftermath?

Dr. Mark Caleb Smith, Cedarville University Political Scientist

A special newsmaker interview from Family Life News

With the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th U.S. President upcoming Monday, we invited back Mark Caleb Smith for analysis of how Washington and the nation will govern itself in 2025.

In this interview, Dr. Smith talks about:

  • the uniqueness of the President-Elect's very visible actions domestically and on the global stage, even before he is sworn in again
  • the challenges ahead for Republicans, even as they have majorities on both sides of Capitol Hill
  • whether there is a mandate from the American majority for elements of the Trump priorities
  • how he was able to predict (correctly) back at Labor Day that voters would give the GOP control of all three -- the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives

    • You can also listen to our previous interview with Mark Caleb Smith, when he joined us for our Labor Day special report, as he evaluated the conventions, an assassination attempt, and the unprecedented processes for the Democratic nomination.
