The only thing I would add is the popular vote is close. That only the electoral college makes this election look like a route. Only 2.3 points separate Harris from Trump. There’s been only 5 other presidential elections where the vote total was closer, only 2 since 1900. 1960 with Nixon and JFK, JFK 49.72%, Nixon 49.55% of the vote when JFK won the popular vote by a mere 120,000. Then again in 2000, Gore vs. G.W. Bush. 48.4% to 47.9%, Gore winning the popular vote by 544,000. JFK ran away with the electoral college, Bush squeaked by.
I don’t know what the Trump administration will do or how they’ll govern. There’s a lot of perceived ideas out there about that, but most of those perceived ideas won’t come about. However Trump and company govern, I predict it will be unpopular. His job approval will be in the pits. That the democrats will make a solid comeback in the 2026 midterms, possiblity a blue wave and reclaim the White House in 2028.
