Donald Trump has again become the Big Boss of America. He has won by a decisive 277 votes till 1 pm in the counting of electoral votes. What were the reasons due to which Trump overpowered his rival Kamala Harris?
Democratic Party candidate and Indian-origin Kamala Harris has lost the presidential election in America. Although she was considered a strong candidate till the last moment, but when the counting of votes started after voting, she lagged far behind on the basis of electoral votes. The New York Times projection is saying that when the counting of electoral votes is completed, Kamala Harris will get 232 votes while Trump will end the counting at 306.
After all, what was the reason that Kamala Harris, who was considered so popular, lost the election. Whereas he had a huge support from women and Asian community. Let us know what were the five reasons which made him win the election.
1. Economic concerns
Many voters prioritize the economy as an important issue. Trump has historically been viewed more favorably on economic matters. A significant portion of the electorate expressed more confidence in Trump’s economic policies than Harris, which led to a large swing vote among independent voters.
2. Voters didn’t trust him
Trump maintains a steady favorability rating, especially among white voters, where he holds a substantial lead over Harris. The support of this demographic is important in swing states that continue to determine election outcomes. Apart from this, when Trump talks about voter fraud and unity in elections. In such a situation, Trump’s slogan of being together brings a large section with him. Certainly, in this matter the majority of the American population probably has less trust in Kamala Harris.
3. His speeches disappointed people
Harris has faced criticism for her communication style, with her speeches often being described as vague or inconclusive. His tendency to give vague responses during public appearances probably frustrated and even alienated voters. They also raised doubts about his qualifications as a candidate. In contrast, Trump’s message was directly appealing to his voters.
4. Swing states beat them
If we look at swing states, Trump has got more votes everywhere than in the last election. Electoral votes have gone towards him in large numbers. Trump has a clear lead there. These states are important for securing the required electoral votes. Harris could not effectively garner support from there. Therefore, this is also the biggest reason for his defeat.
5. Democratic dissent
Democratic voters were not very satisfied with Harris’s candidacy. Many voters also seemed dissatisfied that the Democratic Party did not provide strong leadership in the country in four years. Because of this Trump became a stronger option. He was re-elected. In particular, it seemed that Harris’s policies lacked substance or clarity and that the Democratic Party was not currently capable of providing proper leadership. Perhaps he did not get a very clear view of the party either.
