The United States is only a few days away from President-elect Donald Trump reentering the White House, and the world is preparing for what will follow his inauguration. What is going to happen to the stock market? Will the government or DOGE finally be able to fix the federal debt? What about tariffs and immigration?
We get into it on this week’s episode of Capitol Gains. Anchor Rachelle Akuffo, Washington Correspondent Ben Werschkul, and Senior Columnist Rick Newman break down the current state of the market and how it is starting to become more volatile as Inauguration Day approaches. They also look at Scott Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan following his Senate confirmation hearing to become Treasury Secretary and whether or not his plan is a viable strategy.
Later on, Bipartisan Policy Center executive director of economic policy Shai Akabas joins the show to discuss the debt crisis and what the future of policymaking could look like under the new administration.
