The Campaign Moment

What Americans really think of Trump’s promises


Listen Later

President-elect Donald Trump has a lengthy to-do list for his second term in the White House. Among other controversial proposals, it includes conducting large-scale deportations of immigrants in the U.S. without legal status, hiking tariffs on imports, firing career civil servants and granting clemency to people convicted of seditious conspiracy over the events of Jan. 6, 2021. 

And while Americans elected Trump, they might not like what comes next

Senior political reporter Aaron Blake breaks down, along with producer Laura Benshoff, what the polls tell us about how popular – or unpopular – Trump’s proposals are.  

Today’s episode was produced by Laura Benshoff and mixed by Rennie Svirnovskiy. It was edited by Reena Flores and Mary Jo Murphy. Thanks to Molly Hennessy-Fiske and Lucy Perkins.
