Elections Matter—2024 Edition

On November 5, 2024, Donald J. Trump was elected to serve as the 47th President of the United States. The election will result in changes not just in the executive branch but in Congress as well. Even with results still coming in, we take a look at changes to the Congressional committees that oversee broadband policy, the Federal Communications Commission, and the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). NTIA is implementing programs distributing tens of billions of dollars to states and territories to deploy high-speed internet networks and help people connect and use service.
