United States Switches Leadership: Nations Across Globe Follow Suit
In a close race that has far-reaching implications for both Americans and the world, Donald Trump has secured a second term as U.S. President. The election result, marked by a radical directional decision, indicates a significant shift in the political landscape.
Trump's victory was influenced by several factors, including effective Republican strategies such as gerrymandering to maintain congressional advantages, despite some policy controversies lowering his approval ratings during his second term. His campaign benefited from structural advantages in the electoral map and persistent support among core Republican voters, even as his overall approval ratings declined post-election.
Kamala Harris' campaign, on the other hand, did not fare as strongly. The absence of a clear economic message and the lack of notable Democratic gains or victories suggest that Harris was unable to mobilize sufficient voter support to overcome the advantages Trump enjoyed.
The COVID-19 crisis, war-induced inflation, and growing income inequality have caused deep personal and economic setbacks in the U.S. Inflation is outpacing wage increases, leading to significant losses among many voters, particularly among Latino communities, due to the absence of an economic message from Harris' campaign.
Trump's second term has faced resistance in reshaping the federal courts, partly due to skepticism within conservative circles about some of his nominees. This judicial dimension may have indirectly influenced public perception and electoral dynamics.
Abortion was Harris' strongest campaign theme, but it was not as important to many voters as their economic situation. Sexism may have played a role in Harris' election loss, but economic concerns were more significant for many voters. The Democrats have failed to elect a woman as U.S. President for the second consecutive election.
The U.S. is experiencing a lack of well-paid jobs for those without a college education, adding to the economic concerns of many voters. Only a third of Americans believe the country is heading in the right direction under Biden, and Joe Biden's job performance is unsatisfactory for less than 40% of voters.
