In the exit polls, about 1 in 8 voters who described Trump as “too extreme” still voted for him. Likewise, in the VoteCast survey, Trump won 1 in 6 voters who expressed concern that he would steer the country in an authoritarian direction. Trump won almost exactly the same share of voters who said in the VoteCast survey that he lacks the moral character to serve as president. Even among the voter groups most directly affected by these policies, Trump won substantial support from people who disagreed with him. In either case, the result was that Trump won far too many voters who supported legal abortion for Harris to prevail.

“I’ll be looking at J6 early on, maybe the first nine minutes,” Trump told Time magazine. “There needs to be a more specific, updated argument made to the public to defend pardons for Jan. 6 defendants,” the Trump ally said. But it’s very important for the president to have a very succinct and compelling argument for these pardons,” the Trump ally said. Even if Trump pardons hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants, there’s a record of the reality of the attack that cannot be erased. “We’re going to ride this train ’til the end of the line, whether that’s Jan. 20, 2025, or Jan. 6, 2026.”

Trump is weeks away from being sworn in, a day he has said that he'll "most likely" begin immediately pardoning Jan. 6 defendants. One law enforcement official said the interview made "absolutely" clear that Trump wasn't read in on the details of Jan. 6 cases. A Trump ally who is familiar with the discussions within the Trump team said that the "Meet the Press" interview showed the president-elect's blind spots on the sprawling probe. "There needs to be a more specific, updated argument made to the public to defend pardons for Jan. 6 defendants," the Trump ally said. But it's very important for the president to have a very succinct and compelling argument for these pardons," the Trump ally said.

"I didn't mean — I didn't say cross-hairs. At several points in the interview, Biden expressed frustration with how the media has covered Trump. 28 times, it's confirmed, he lied in that debate," Biden said. At the end of the interview, Biden asked Holt to come and talk to him sometime about "what we should be talking about." Similarly, in that interview, Biden was soft-spoken and misspoke at times.

Read previewIn January 2025, Donald Trump may be sworn into office as the 47th President of the United States. Another Trump term, on the other hand, would likely entail a radical reversal from not just the previous four years, but even from Trump's first term in office. While not exhaustive, here's just some of what to expect in a second Trump administration. Miller told The New York Times that a second Trump administration would build "vast holding facilities that would function as staging centers" on "open land in Texas near the border." According to Bloomberg, Trump wants to extend those cuts in a second term.
