The pollsters said it was a dead heat between Trump and Kamala Harris. The only one saying he would win with a wide margin was Donald Trump. Not only did he win the electoral votes of the swing states, but he carried the national, popular vote as well—a feat a Republican US presidential candidate last achieved 2 decades ago when George W. Bush beat John Kerry in 2004.
The democratic vote—these days becoming increasingly difficult to predict—is the final outcome after a cocktail of hopes, aspirations, fears, anti-incumbency pulls, and identity assertions furiously churn and deliver a verdict. Sometimes, a single factor dominates.
With hindsight, the pundits say Trump succeeded in convincing people the US economy was far worse than it was 4 years ago; that the Biden administration was a failure in securing the borders; that immigrants had taken over the country; and that the Democrats couldn't find a solution to the wars.
Racist package
Hindsight analysis is easy because there is no accountability; but for this writer, it was crystal clear Trump's single-minded focus on the 'immigrant invasion' was a clear winner. Despite all his rambling at rallies, Donald Trump hammered out his ugly rhetoric on one, and only one thing—America being swamped by the 'great unwashed'; and the Biden administration failing to do anything about it.
