In 1909, William Howard Taft had the West Wing expanded and extensively remodeled. He relocated the chief executive's office in the middle of the south side-taking over the secretary's round-ended office-and changed its shape to a full oval For President Taft, an oval office may have symbolized his view of the modern-day president. Taft intended to be the center of his administration, and by creating the Oval Office in the center of the West Wing, he was more involved with the day-to-day operation of his presidency than were his recent predecessors.

William Howard Taft's views on African Americans were complex and influenced by the prevailing attitudes of his time. He believed in gradual progress for African Americans and supported some civil rights advancements, yet he often prioritized political expediency over racial equality. Taft's administration was marked by a reluctance to confront issues of racial discrimination directly, and he faced criticism for not doing enough to protect the rights of African Americans, particularly in the context of segregation and disenfranchisement. Overall, while he held some progressive views, his actions often fell short of addressing the systemic racism of his era.
Saying that many publics exist in the US means that there are diverse and distinct groups of people with varying interests, beliefs, and backgrounds. These publics may have different perspectives on issues and may engage in separate spheres of public discourse. This highlights the diversity and complexity of the American population.
William Howard Taft's reputation as a progressive was significantly tarnished when he signed the Payne-Aldrich Tariff in 1909, which raised tariffs rather than lowering them as many progressives had hoped. This move alienated many reform-minded Republicans and led to a split in the party, as it was perceived as a betrayal of the progressive ideals championed by his predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt. Additionally, Taft's support for the tariff undermined his credibility as a champion of progressive reform, causing many to view him as more aligned with conservative interests.
