The 2024 US presidential election was a significant event that saw President Joe Biden welcoming former President Donald Trump to the White House, despite the intense rivalry between them during the campaign. The outcome of the election had a profound impact on the Democrats, the media, and wokeism in the country.
Donald Trump and the GOP achieved a remarkable victory by winning the House, the Senate, and the White House, as well as the popular vote and all seven swing states. This success was a blow to the Democrats, who lost nearly 10 million votes compared to the previous election. Trump’s vote share increased in almost every demographic group, except for the affluent and highly educated.
One of the reasons for the Democrats’ loss was their abandonment of democratic principles. They manipulated the primary process to favor Biden and ignored concerns about his failing health. Ultimately, Biden was pressured to step aside, and Kamala Harris became the Democratic candidate without winning a primary vote.
The Democrats also misread the public mood by focusing on issues like abortion instead of addressing voters’ concerns about the economy, immigration, and crime. Their embrace of woke ideology and progressive gender norms alienated some voters, especially young men who felt demonized by the party.
The mainstream media’s credibility took a hit as well, with a Gallup poll showing low levels of trust in the media among Americans. The media’s biased coverage of events like the Russiagate hoax, the COVID pandemic, and the January 6 capitol riots further eroded their credibility.
Overall, the 2024 election results have forced both the Democrats and the media to reconsider their strategies and narratives. While Trump and the GOP have a mandate to govern, the Democrats face the challenge of regaining the trust of the electorate in future elections. The outcome of the 2024 election has reshaped the political landscape in the US and will have lasting implications for both parties moving forward.
