Nov 6, 2024, 02:42 PM

Donald Trump has won the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, securing both the Electoral College and the popular vote, a first for a Republican candidate in 20 years. Voters sent a clear and resounding message turning away from progressive policies in favor of Trump's agenda, including tax cuts, deregulation, and depoliticization of schools. Despite losing the white vote, Trump formed a multicultural working-class coalition, gaining significant support from Latino men and capturing a larger percentage of the Hispanic vote than President Bush's 39%. This represents a seismic shift in American politics. Pollsters failed to predict this outcome, highlighting a disconnect between polls and voters' sentiments. Voter priorities differed significantly, with Harris supporters focusing on democracy, while Trump supporters prioritized inflation and immigration.
