What’s next for American politics and Trump 2.0 in 2025

With 2025 just a few days away and President-elect Trump’s Inauguration Day less than a month out, there’s a lot of variables up in the air for the future of American politics. What is going to happen on Trump's first day in office and in the days that follow? Will the future commander in chief fulfill his promises of implementing tariffs? Can Elon Musk and DOGE fix the national debt? We get into it. On this week’s episode of Capitol Gains, anchor Rachelle Akuffo, Washington Correspondent Ben Werschkul, and Senior Columnist Rick Newman get introspective on the state of politics in this country the past year while looking ahead to this new administration that will be taking office in just a few weeks. The team takes a look at the successes and failures of the Biden administration, what aspects of the economy matter most to everyday Americans, and forecast ahead to how Trump 2.0 could differ from his first time in office.

Trump, Musk, and the future of DOGE & the debt ceiling

President-elect Donald Trump continues to dominate news headlines as the world awaits the former commander-in-chief’s return to the White House. This week, the president-elect not only delivered remarks for the first time since his Election Day victory but was put into the spotlight for his comments regarding abolishing the debt ceiling and Elon Musk’s evergrowing involvement with the incoming Trump administration. In this week’s episode of Capitol Gains, anchor Rachelle Akuffo, Washington Correspondent Ben Werschkul, and Senior Columnist Rick Newman get into these news headlines as well as what could be expected in Trump’s White House. “I kind of feel like Trump the second time around might delegate a lot more than he did the first time around,” Newman says. "He's older. He has a clearer sense of the people he wants in place who are going to do what he wants instead of trying to block what he wants to do. He seems to be setting it up that way, so maybe he will be quite happy to delegate to Elon Musk or you could have two gigantic egos that can't fit inside the same city.” Later in the show, London Business School Assistant Professor of Economics Joseba Martinez joins the show to discuss the debt ceiling, corporate tax rates, and what needs to be done to maximize economic prosperity in the United States.

Trump 2.0: Tariffs, clean energy, and federal budget’s future

With Inauguration Day a little over a month away the world is gearing up for President-elect Trump to make his return to the White House. Lots of promises were made by the president-elect during his campaign. Will he follow through with them? What will things like tariffs, clean energy, and the federal budget look like under this new administration? We get into it. In this week’s episode of Capitol Gains, anchor Rachelle Akuffo, Yahoo Finance Anchor Akiko Fujita, and Senior Columnist Rick Newman talk about many of key issues making news headlines in recent days. The team talks anxieties surrounding Trump’s tariffs, the future of clean energy, and if anything should actually be cause for concern as we move forward into this new administration. “There are companies that are very, very concerned about the potential for these tariffs, but there's also this realization they kind of have an idea of how things played out last time,” Fujita explains, going into details regarding the history of Trump’s tariffs during his first administration. “And there's sort of banking on that being the case this time around.” Later, Penn Wharton Budget Model Faculty Director Kent Smetters joins the show to discuss DOGE, the federal budget, and forecast what needs to be done to get government spending under control.

Trump’s tariffs: How quickly the president-elect could enact them

Tariffs, tariffs, tariffs! If there’s one thing all over the news in recent days, it’s President-elect Trump and his tariffs. With Trump spending much of his reelection campaign promising to enact tariffs on foreign goods as soon as he reenters the White House in January, it begs the questions - how quickly could these tariffs actually come into effect and which will he prioritize? We get into it. In this week’s episode of Capitol Gains, anchor Rachelle Akuffo, Washington Correspondent Ben Werschkul, and Senior Columnist Rick Newman are joined by Raymond James Washington Policy Analyst and Managing Director Edward Mills to discuss the topic at large. In terms of Trump’s prioritization of tariffs, Mills speculates the president-elect will try to enact tariffs on China first, then Mexico and Canada, then Europe. The rest of the world would follow. Will all of this actually happen? Only time will tell. Mills says, “take [Trump] seriously. Don’t take him literally. Not everything that gets posted [on social media] is going to get implemented. But I will tell you, if we do this interview a year from today, there will be more tariffs in place than there are today and we’ll probably have a conversation about Congress giving him additional tariff authority as they pass an extension of the 2017 tax cuts that expire on December 31 of next year.” Watch more episodes of Capitol Gains here.
