How Trump’s second term will be different

What Trump’s win means for abortion, immigration, foreign policy, and more.

Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, will also be its 47th president. After voting him out of office in 2020, American voters changed their minds, opting for a return to his policies and his politics.

But the second Trump presidency will look very little like the first. His policies have evolved, his circumstances have changed, and he will be returning to office with a much more focused plan than the one he entered with eight years ago.

In this video, we ask six Vox reporters what we should expect from Trump’s second term, from foreign policy to abortion.
