As the world braces for the full impact of Donald Trump’s second presidency, seasoned political journalist Tara Palmeri can cut through the noise with refreshing insight, reporting and analysis on the new dynamics in Washington and how to plan for what’s next. Trump has promised mass deportations, trade wars, tariffs and a radical overhaul of the federal workforce, but he only has a two-year window to enact an aggressive agenda before he heads into a lame duck presidency. He will face challenges when trying to pass ambitious legislation with a razor thin Republican majority in the Congress. If he relies on executive orders, a large part of his agenda will be challenged in the courts. But unlike his first term which was marked by infighting and chaos, Trump enters the White House with a greater understanding of Washington and a staff of loyalists dedicated to executing his every whim. His second administration will certainly be more effective than his first at carrying out his agenda.
As a White House correspondent for ABC News during Trump’s first term and a senior correspondent for Puck covering Trump’s 2024 campaign, Tara can offer intimate details on the dynamics, players and machinations at the highest levels of power in Trump’s Washington. Tara can also speak to the macro geopolitical impact of Trump’s agenda, having covered the European Union for POLITICO Europe as it went through Brexit and braced for Trump’s first term.
