The January 8, 2025, edition of the Washington Examiner delves into the evolving political landscape as President-elect Donald Trump prepares for his inauguration on January 20. A focal point is the Republican Party’s strategy to navigate its internal dynamics to effectively implement the forthcoming administration’s agenda.
