And what to expect from Trump’s inaugural address
This week Joe Biden delivered his farewell address to the nation, in which he warned of the looming threat of unchecked power. Panelists on Washington Week With The Atlantic joined to discuss the president’s speech as well as what to expect from Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Although Biden’s administration can claim various key moments of success over the past four years, his presidency was consciously framed around defending and protecting democratic norms, McKay Coppins said last night. But after he lost his party and the White House “in a pretty dramatic fashion to usher in the return of Donald Trump,” McKay continued, “it’s going to be hard to make the case that he did what he set out to do.”
Meanwhile, Trump has vowed to take dramatic steps in the earliest days of his presidency, including mass deportations. “You’re going to see a flurry of executive orders,” Zolan Kanno-Youngs said. The administration is “reaching and trying to be creative when it comes to accomplishing” Trump’s immigration agenda.
Joining the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, to discuss this and more: McKay Coppins, a staff writer at The Atlantic; Andrew Desiderio, a senior congressional reporter at Punchbowl News; Asma Khalid, a White House correspondent at NPR and a political contributor for ABC News; and Zolan Kanno-Youngs, a White House correspondent for The New York Times.
