  • A new year of lawmaking and politicking is underway in U.S. statehouses. Governors are acting quickly to outline their agendas. And in many cases, the influence of President-elect Donald Trump already is rippling through states in both symbolic and substantive ways.

The article from MSN discusses how former President Donald Trump's influence continues to permeate state politics across the U.S., affecting both policy and political symbolism. Despite his absence from the White House, Trump's impact is evident in state capitols where lawmakers are pushing for policies aligned with his political agenda, such as election integrity measures, restrictions on transgender rights, and educational reforms. Symbolically, his presence is felt through the display of his likeness in various forms, like portraits and busts, in state government buildings. This influence is not just limited to Republican strongholds but is also seen in states where his support was less pronounced, indicating a broad and lasting effect on American political culture. The article highlights how Trump's legacy is being actively shaped and preserved by his supporters at the state level, reflecting a continued loyalty and the ongoing battle over his political narrative.
