In a special series leading up to Election Day, “The Daily” will explore what a second Trump presidency would look like, and what it could mean for American democracy.
In the first part, we will look at Tump’s plan for a second term. On the campaign trail, Trump has outlined a vision that is far more radical, vindictive and unchecked than his first one.
Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman, political correspondents for The Times, and Charlie Savage, who covers national security, have found that behind Trump’s rhetoric is a highly coordinated plan, to make his vision a reality.
Guest:
- Jonathan Swan, who covers politics and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign for The New York Times.
- Maggie Haberman, a senior political correspondent for The New York Times.
- Charlie Savage, who covers national security and legal policy for The New York Times.
Background reading:
- Why a second Trump presidency may be more radical than his first.
- No major American presidential candidate has talked like Trump now does at his rallies — not Richard Nixon, not George Wallace, not even Donald Trump himself.
