On Monday, January 20, 2025, the United States will swear in a reelected President, the first such reelection since Grover Cleveland began his second term in 1893. While polls were close before the November election, Donald J. Trump defeated rival Kamala Harris and was elected to succeed President Joe Biden. After a very contentious election, many commentators were shocked that the U.S. would seemingly reverse course from liberal policies to a government that is expected to be very conservative in tone.
