After the presidential election in America, the results are continuously coming. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump gave a victory speech announcing his victory. He says that he will make America the greatest country in the world again.
He showed people a dream that we will all live a happy and wonderful life again. However, Donald Trump is also a controversial figure. There are many cases going on against him. He has also been convicted in one or two cases. However, there is no doubt that Trump ran a tremendous election campaign for the last 06 months.
Trump will be the first person in a century to become president, then lose the election and then return to the presidency by winning the next election. Another strange similarity is that he won the presidential election twice when there was a female candidate against him. In 2016, he defeated Hillary Clinton. In 2020, he lost to male candidate Joe Biden. Now after four years, he again defeated female candidate Kamala Harris.
However, experts say that the presence of anti-women candidates also made Trump’s victory easier. Because American society is still generally a patriarchal society. Which also brings religion into politics.
What are the five reasons for his tremendous victory?
1. Strong base support
Trump has a strong support base. His base of supporters has remained with him continuously. That is why he not only became the presidential candidate again in the Republican Party, but also continuously showed during the election campaign that he is very strong. He got a lot of support in rallies during the election campaign. Crowds gathered. He showed the dream of “making America great again”. His appeal to the working class, especially the voters without college degree, kept his traditional voters with him. In fact, people were disappointed in many matters during the four-year rule of Biden of the Democratic Party.
2. Inflation and unemployment
Inflation has increased in the US in the last four years. Along with this, there has also been a problem of unemployment after Corona. The US economy is said to be in bad shape. Although Kamala Harris repeatedly said in election speeches that the economy is back on track. Everything is better but the public did not believe her. They also felt that America was spending most of its money on foreign works while the country needed it more.
Trump’s campaign was centered on economic reform, tax cuts and the return of strong manufacturing to America. He raised these issues in every rally and dreamed of a return to better days and a great America. His goal was to woo the people by proposing further cuts in corporate taxes and regulation, in which he was largely successful.
3. Immigration Policy
Trump’s stance on immigration reflects the concerns of many voters. Especially during the four years of the Biden administration, it has become clear in people’s minds that people from outside are coming into the country. Strict action is not being taken against them. Border security is also a matter of concern. Trump has talked about strictly stopping this. He talked about American First, that is, by ending immigration, the safety of Americans and their families will be put forward. Trump clearly says that he will deal strictly with illegal immigration.
4. Trump dominated in swing states.
Trump successfully won key swing states like Georgia and North Carolina, which were essential for his electoral success. It is being said that the support Trump has received this time is more tremendous than his 2016 victory. His frequent visits to these areas and targeted campaigns have helped him consolidate his support among voters who were previously Democratic but have now moved towards him. They especially found strength in Trump’s promises that discrimination in the country will end, the country will become stronger and greater. People’s lives will become better.
5. People felt that he would be a strong president.
In the times that America and the world are going through, the people of America felt that they needed a strong and straight forward president. They found Trump to be perfect for this. However, Trump is controversial and is mired in lawsuits.
His affairs with women have given him a bad name but despite all this, it seems that in the eyes of the American people, he was a strong personality capable of being a President. This is why he got stronger support this time. This is why not only he but his party is moving towards getting a majority in the Senate as well as the House of Representatives. The majority has been achieved in the Senate. It is close in the House of Representatives.
