She is known for her excellent and courageous role as Donald Trump’s chief advisor in his successful 2024 election run.
Finally, a confident Trump can be seen dictating fiery X/Twitter posts against rival Harris.
The unpreceded footage is part of a documentary called The Donald Trump Comeback.
It offers a rare inside look at the campaign with never-before-seen footage showing the process of the extensive election.
TRUMP’S HISTORIC FEAT
Trump is on his way to achieving a historic election clean sweep not seen in 40 years after capturing all seven key swing states in the election.
The president-elect won key battlegrounds – Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina – and is now projected to win Arizona and Nevada.
And he will become the first candidate from either party to pull that off since Ronald Reagan’s historic 1984 reelection landslide victory where he won 49 states.
The seven swing states, which usually play the pivotal role in deciding who wins the presidential election every four years, were left wildly divided since 2016 when Trump defeated the then-Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in all but Nevada.
And in 2020, Biden managed to win all the swing states except North Carolina.
Trump is now projected to win Nevada as well as Arizona, the only two key battlegrounds that are yet to be called for.
The president-elect is also on the verge of winning The House after his party flipped the race to win the Senate.
Republicans are edging closer to winning the House each day as more votes from the various counties continue to be declared – with just over two dozen races left to be called.
Trump is also on track to bag the popular vote – in what would be a Republican first for over 20 years.
As Trump prepares to return to the Oval Office, he steps into a political landscape shaped by a GOP-controlled Senate and a likely Republican majority in the House.
What happens after the election?
After the election but before the inauguration, there is a transition period where the incoming president begins to plan and organize the administration.
The General Services Administration (GSA) provides resources to the president-elect for this process, and the incoming team starts setting up government operations.
On January 20th of the year following the election, Trump will be sworn into office in a ceremony held at the U.S. Capitol.
After taking the Oath of Office, the new president officially begins his term.
Once taking office, Trump should be nominating his key cabinet members and other senior staff.
These appointments need to be confirmed by the Senate.
And some positions, like secretaries of state, defense, and treasury, are critical for the functioning of the executive branch.
Trump can then begin implementing his agenda through executive orders, which are legally binding directives to federal agencies.
This is often one of the first actions a new president takes to address immediate policy concerns.
Once in office, Trump will begin receiving classified intelligence briefings to get up to speed on national security matters.
This is an ongoing process that continues throughout the president’s term.
Trump may also begin discussions with members of Congress to ensure cooperation on their legislative agenda.
Early engagements often focus on key priorities like economic plans, healthcare, or national security.
Both during the inauguration and in the weeks following it, Trump is expected to often give speeches to outline his goals and vision for America.
