Donald Trump wants to return to the White House in January 2025.
With a year to go until the election, it’s too early to tell whether that trend will continue, but a recent poll shows the former president leading preferences in a majority of undecided states. Apparently there are formal charges against him for 91 criminal offenses They haven’t lost support.

What does Trump plan for a second term?
Based on their campaign speeches and publications on their websites, Times political reporters report provide an overview of their most important projects. Below is a list of some of the measures he plans to implement if he wins the election:
Change the executive branch to concentrate more power. This would mean that some independent agencies, such as the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission, would be under the president’s control. He has also indicated that he plans to revamp the federal bureaucracy.
Attack Mexican drug cartels with the use of military force.
Change the judiciary to crack down on their political opponents. As he explained, this would mean appointing a special prosecutor to look after Biden and his family.
In his first term, Trump’s ambitions ran into legal advisers who blocked some of his proposals. He now plans to appoint lawyers who will pave the way for a more radical agenda.
As in his first election campaign, Trump continues to use extreme anti-immigrant rhetoric. He promises to carry out “the largest national deportation operation in the history of the United States.” In addition, their immigration plans include Raids, camps, and the reactivation of Title 42.
Meanwhile, Biden’s advisers reject the trend and They assure that the incumbent president is in a good position to take part in the elections.
