Today in the EU

Once-convicted, twice-impeached Republican firebrand Donald Trump will serve a second term as president of the United States, after unprecedented preliminary results in most swing states and some historically blue states confirmed his return to the White House.

 With both the Senate and House to be controlled by a Republican majority, the businessman-turned-politician is likely to enjoy an obstacle-free pathway to turn his electoral promises into legislation. But what did Trump guarantee to the American public in the first place and what is at the root of his remarkable comeback?  

Tune in as host Giada Santana takes the temperature at the incoming president’s headquarters in Palm Beach County, Florida with Euractiv’s Sarantis Michaloupolos, and analyzes Trump’s manifesto with editor Alice Taylor.
