In a 25-minute address, Trump highlighted themes of unity and healing.

4. Historical Context and Healthcare Implications

Trump’s victory makes him the second U.S. president to win a non-consecutive term in office.
The campaign season featured limited discussion on healthcare, including changes to the Affordable Care Act, positioning healthcare as a secondary issue.
