'He’ll have to deliver': GOP strategist says Trump has small window to show he can govern

Now that President-elect Donald Trump has won reelection, America's problems will be his to solve in less than three weeks when he's sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. Ryan Williams — a Republican strategist who previously worked for Sen. Mitt Romney — told Politico that Trump's big promises on the campaign stump will now be added pressure for him to prove his ability to lead, given recent events. "This is something Trump made a major point of during the campaign: People don’t feel safe and don’t feel the current Democratic administration or local administrations in cities and states are really doing enough about it," Williams said. Trump has yet to announce a pick to lead the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which will likely prove to be a high-stakes job for its eventual director given the Chinese "Salt Typhoon" hack that breached major telecommunications companies and targeted the cellphones of both Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance. Rep. Mike Waltz, who will be the Trump White House's National Security Advisor, called for "higher costs and consequences" for the Salt Typhoon hackers, and suggested a counterattack against Beijing.
