This year’s presidential election delivered a crushing blow for the Democratic party. Weeks of manic polling analysis gave left-wing voters false hope that the race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris was “neck and neck.” But in the end, Trump won enough electoral votes to secure another term in the White House and became the first Republican presidential candidate since 2004 to win the popular vote.
It didn’t matter that Trump’s first term was chaotic, or that he had tried to overturn the 2020 election. In fact, one of the few things accurately predicted by pollsters was that the Democrat’s focus on protecting democracy wouldn’t be as persuasive as a strong economic plan. With that in mind, it’s easy to see what went wrong.
