What is expected from Trump's second term?: Hank Sainkopf anticipates Trump will follow through on his campaign promises, leading to major shifts in American domestic and foreign policies. Jacob Heilbrun predicts a more aggressive, revenge-oriented Trump administration targeting immigrants and perceived enemies.
Why did Trump win and Harris lose the election?: Trump's victory was attributed to his populist appeal and the Democratic Party's failure to connect with voters beyond elite circles in major cities. Harris's campaign, despite significant funding, lacked the emotional connection needed to overcome widespread anger and dissatisfaction.
Could a different Democratic candidate have won?: Experts suggest that regardless of the Democratic nominee, the deep dissatisfaction with the current political climate would have made victory challenging. Harris's association with the existing administration's shortcomings, particularly regarding border control, further hampered her campaign.
How might Trump's second term affect international relations?: While some analysts like Ian Lesser suggest a wait-and-see approach regarding Trump's second term, others predict chaotic shifts in both domestic and international affairs due to Trump's actions and appointments.
What were the main factors that contributed to the Democrats' loss?: Analysts point to a significant miscalculation by the Democrats, underestimating voter anger and frustration. They failed to address widespread concerns about economic inequality and opportunity, leading to Trump's success in capturing this sentiment.
