Debunking the Myth of Trump's 'Landslide' Victory

Donald Trump claimed an "unprecedented and powerful" mandate after winning the 2024 US presidential election against Kamala Harris, securing victories in key swing states and both chambers of Congress. Despite his electoral college win of 312 votes, Trump's popular vote share fell below 50%, challenging his "landslide" victory narrative. His win was facilitated by the electoral college system, which amplifies narrow victories in swing states. Trump's 76.9 million votes mark the second-highest tally in US history, though he did not achieve an outright majority.

Musk Pushes Trump for Bold Treasury Moves Amid Tariff Tensions

Donald Trump's advisers are seeking commitments from top candidates for Treasury secretary to support his aggressive tariff plans, as Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick vie for the position. Bessent, initially the frontrunner, faces criticism for previously describing Trump's tariffs as negotiating tools, while Lutnick gains support from Elon Musk. Trump's tariff strategy aims to boost US manufacturing and fund tax cuts, with proposed tariffs on Chinese imports and a universal tariff on all goods.

Inflation's Role in Trump's Victory and Democratic Losses

The impact of inflation on the 2024 US election results, particularly the swing towards Trump, is complex and not straightforward. While inflation was a major concern for voters, data shows no clear correlation between higher inflation rates in metropolitan areas and increased support for Trump. Instead, perceptions of inflation, influenced by political affiliation and media consumption, may have played a significant role. Additionally, differences in inflation experiences across income groups could explain shifts in voting patterns, with lower-income voters more likely to support Republicans.

Analyzing the Missteps and Future of Kamala Harris Post-Election

In the 2024 US presidential election, former President Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris by a significant margin, securing 295 Electoral College votes to Harris's 226, with projections suggesting he could reach 312.
