Barack, meet Donald
Let the transition begin: Donald Trump comes to the White House this morning to meet the man he’s replacing, President Obama, at Mr. Obama’s invitation. The two exchanged bitterly harsh words about each other on the campaign trail, but the current oval office occupant has pledged to make the transition to the Trump administration a smooth one.
Key Question
During the campaign, Trump vowed to swiftly repeal Obamacare if elected. He will be getting that chance, potentially dealing a massive blow to participants in the federal health care program and to President Obama’s legacy. Is the Affordable Care Act living on borrowed time?
Your wallet
Everyone knows about Trump’s planned crackdown on illegal immigrants and criticism of global trade. But the president-elect’s views on everyday pocketbook issues, such as taxes and interest rates, are less well-known. We fill in some of the blanks in four areas crucial to people’s financial health.
Not Alone
Donald Trump’s brand of right-wing populism and economic nationalism is at work in more places than just the U.S. -- and parties espousing similar views could win elections in a handful of European countries in coming months.
Dealing with defeat
Hillary Clinton’s emotional concession speech was praised as “classy” and “poignant.” She joins a select group of politicians who came up short in their quest for the White House. The losses can haunt them for months or even years. Take a look at how previous candidates have coped with stinging losses.
Family first
Donald Trump will soon become familiar with some new real estate. The president-elect will move into the White House with his wife, Melania, and 10-year-old son, Barron. His adult children are expected to be frequent guests. See what we can expect from this unique first family.
“Unbearable smugness”
Commentary: To get a better idea about what’s going on in America, the Washington press corps is going to have to embrace humility. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that, with a few exceptions, its members were all tacitly or explicitly #WithHer (Hillary Clinton), which has led to a certain anguish in the face of Trump’s victory.
No hit here
Imagine an online shopping day that was more than four times the size of Cyber Monday in 2015. A day when $20 billion worth of items are forecast to be sold this year. It’s called Singles Day, and it’ll be celebrated -- mostly in China -- on Nov. 11. It began as a joke among Chinese college students in the 1990s, but has since become serious business. It’s not all that popular in the U.S. though. Here’s why.
