President-elect Donald Trump is the first person in over 120 years to be elected to two non-consecutive presidential terms. He swept every swing state and made significant gains among Hispanic voters, narrowing Democratic margins in traditionally blue states like Virginia and New Jersey. He won the Electoral College decisively, although the national popular vote margin was the narrowest it has been since 2000.

Watch the video above as Straight Arrow News contributor Michael Continetti discusses how Trump’s 2024 victory differs from his 2016 win and analyzes where he says his Democratic opponents went so far off course.

The following is an excerpt from the above video:

Furthermore, while Biden’s mismanagement of the economy, the border and the world has been obvious to voters for years, his incompetence has been downplayed or denied by the men and women who rely on the Democratic Party for access, favors, jobs and funding, and when Biden withdrew from the presidential race to make way for Kamala Harris, no one within the Biden or Harris camp seems to have recognized that the vice president ought to have separated herself from his legacy.

According to Blueprint, a Democratic polling firm, the top reason swing voters chose Trump was that “Kamala Harris has focused more on cultural issues like transgender issues, rather than helping the middle class.”

Yet swing voters had plenty of reasons to be disappointed. In fact, population, open borders, social disorder, political correctness, gender ideology, lawfare conducted against the political opposition, antisemitism on campuses and in the streets, and ongoing wars in Europe and the Middle East — this is the record that Biden and Harris asked America to extend for another four years. America refused, and by doing so, America opened the curtain on a new and unknown political era.
