The Bethlehem Project: Inside Trump's America
Over the next four years, the Financial Times will be reporting from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania — a post-industrial city in one of the country’s electoral battlegrounds — to understand Trump’s economy and the hopes of those who backed him in 2024, and those who didn’t. Bethlehem will be our lens on America’s national trends and debates: the cost of living, immigration crackdowns, and how Trump’s presidency is reshaping the country.
