President-elect Donald Trump plans to hit the ground running. National security adviser-designee Mike Waltz is rapidly assembling the White House national security team. Secretary of State-designate Marco Rubio should breeze through confirmation. Entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are already identifying ways to cut wasteful spending and unnecessary programs.

Trump knows he has only two years to achieve much of his agenda; by 2027, the next campaign cycle will begin. Democratic nominee Kamala Harris’s veepstakes highlighted likely Democratic frontrunners, and numerous Republicans are waiting in the wings: Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Rubio, and Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA), among others.
