America Decides: Unpacking the 2024 US Presidential Election Results
After Biden’s resignation, Kamala Harris’ comments attacking Trump and non-Trump Republican moderates also supported Harris, and Trump was counterattacked by his age risk, and Harris was expected to have the upper hand in the beginning, and even won a decision victory over Trump in the debate, gaining momentum. However, in the vice-presidential debate, running mate Tim Walz did not perform well in the debate, while JD Vance had a problem with his past remarks, but in the subsequent debate, he turned public opinion around by highlighting his keen points on the American economy and social problems. Harris proposed a debate several times to widen the gap with Trump, but Trump refused the debate, saying it was a slanted playing field, so Harris had nothing to highlight.
As time passed, public opinion complaining of fatigue from war support, including the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, became stronger, and Harris ended up running an election campaign at a level where the Democratic Party lost its direction in order to attract conservative votes, while Trump, like a My Way maverick, campaigned on his own. While continuing his own style, he attracted attention by putting out appeasement measures to attract moderate votes and attempting to improve his image like the McDonald’s experience. Moreover, politically, some of the public, who judged the Democratic Party to be incompetent for failing to prevent the war in Ukraine, appear to have supported Trump in order to end the black hole-like war in Ukraine, which is running a deficit due to the scale of support being greater than the special war effort.
By the time the election began and the vote counting was completed, contrary to the expectations of a very close race, the result was completely opposite to the opinion poll, as Trump, who had 3 times the number of electoral votes from the start, ended up with a landslide victory without allowing a single reversal. came out, and the Republican Party won a landslide victory in the Senate and House of Representatives, to the extent that it could almost be called a red wave. In particular, in swing states, including Pennsylvania, a close battle area, the Democratic Party was dominant in urban areas, but Trump’s support was overwhelming in rural or rural areas away from the cities. In other words, it can be said that the overwhelming support of whites in Trump’s concrete support base, the Rust Belt and the Sun Belt, including Texas and Florida, decided the direction of the presidential election.
In particular, out of the five battleground states of Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, even two that Harris had an early advantage in were reversed and Trump ultimately won. 4 placesIn the end, Trump won with a narrow lead in Pennsylvania, failing to win even a single battleground state. In particular, the areas that were more advantageous to Trump were Texas and Florida, where he could secure 70 electoral votes just by combining the two, and since this area was plagued by illegal immigrants, it gave overwhelming support to Trump, who showed an anti-immigration stance. Meanwhile, Harris was on equal footing in the traditional Democratic ticket fields of California and New York, but she continued to lose to Trump in states with a large number of electoral votes, such as swing states. New Mexico, which is struggling with illegal immigration in a similar state as Arizona, supported Harris, but barely. 5 votes The number of electoral votes did not help.
Even in the Democratic Party’s strongholds, approval ratings have fallen significantly, with a clear example being the Democratic Party’s inability to easily confirm the results in New York and New England.[1]
The results once again prove that there are many American people who want American isolationism. By analogy, there has been continued dissatisfaction in the United States about giving up the liver and gallbladder, and it can be seen that this has led to judgment on the Biden administration.[2]
