- Will Trump be sentenced for any of his felonies?
- Donald Trump's legal jeopardy is complex. While some investigations may conclude, others remain open, making any definitive prediction about future sentencing difficult. The Department of Justice's policy regarding indicting a sitting president also plays a significant role.
- What does this result say about American society?
- The result reflects deep societal divisions, particularly regarding race and gender. Kamala Harris's candidacy highlights the barriers faced by women and minorities in American politics.
- What is the truth behind Project 2025 and it being put in place?
- Project 2025 is a policy initiative developed by the Heritage Foundation, with input from Trump's former administration officials. While Trump initially distanced himself, right-wing figures now actively promote it.
- Are pollsters a redundant entity after getting it so wrong, again?
- Pollsters need significant improvement. Their underestimation of Trump's support, especially among Latinos, highlights the need for substantial changes in methodology and analysis.
- Do you think Hollywood’s elite helped or hindered the resulting outcome for Harris?
- Hollywood's influence was likely negligible. Both Democrats and Republicans utilize celebrity endorsements, so its impact on the election outcome is questionable.
