Donald Trump has secured a decisive victory in the recent U.S. election, marking a significant shift in American politics. His win, despite numerous controversies including 34 felony convictions, was influenced by key voter demographics shifting towards the Republican party. Trump's appeal extended beyond traditional voter bases, with the wealthiest places showing the largest shift towards Republicans. This election outcome has set the stage for Trump to push his agenda, particularly aggressive tariff policies, with a solid 53-47 Senate majority in favor of Republicans. The Democratic Party, led by Kamala Harris, underestimated the extent of the crisis felt by many Americans, leading to their electoral defeat.
