- How did the conflict in Ukraine affect voter sentiment?
- Trump's clearer stance on ending aid to Ukraine than Harris resonated with voters who believed the U.S. was giving too much money to foreign countries, including those in Ukraine.
- How did Elon Musk's actions influence the election outcome?
- Elon Musk's use of X (formerly Twitter) to spread misinformation and support Trump, along with his illegal campaign contributions, significantly impacted the election.
- What demographic shifts surprised analysts and favored Trump?
- Unexpectedly high support for Trump among Black and Latino voters, especially young Black men, contributed to Harris's defeat, despite similar female voter support for Harris and Biden.
- What was the impact of the Israeli-Hamas war on the election?
- The Israeli-Hamas war created a deep division in the Democratic party, with some Muslim voters boycotting the election in protest of Biden's support for Israel, while Trump leveraged this by appealing to this demographic without explaining inconsistencies in his positions.
- What role did Joe Biden's economic policies play in the election?
- Joe Biden's economic policies, while showing macroeconomic improvements, negatively affected retirees and young people, making Trump's simpler, protectionist proposals more appealing.
