Donald Trump's legendary election victory is an assertion that the predictions and political conclusions of election pundits have little value in the United States as well. Even in the first phase of the vote counting, republican candidate Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris were reportedly neck and neck. However, with each stage of the counting of votes, Trump was seen moving forward. Not only was Kamala unable to get close to Trump at any point, but she remained behind till the end.
The U.S. presidential election attracts worldwide attention because it has a direct and indirect impact on the world political order. Four years ago, Trump, who ran for a second term in an election like this, had to face defeat. Trump and his supporters, who were preparing for a riot, organized a massive protest that day, accusing the Democratic party of deliberately defeating him through falsehood. Cases related to this are still pending.
The majority of U.S. voters have answered the question of whether it is Trump or Kamala Harris in an unambiguous way. This is the first time in 127 years that a person has been re-elected to the presidency after a hiatus in the history of the U.S. presidential election. Trump is the idol of the average American, with his indomitable fighting prowess, his lack of complacency for anything, and his firm mind that does not tire out in times of crisis. When Trump, who has twice been charged with impeachment proceedings and criminal charges, including rape, takes office for a second term, the world is eager to see which path the United States will take next. For those who were expecting Kamala Harris' victory, Trump's resurgence is beyond tolerable.
It was thought that the result of seven fluctuating states would determine who would be the president. In all seven of these states, Trump was at the forefront. Victory became easier. Where 270 electoral votes are needed to win, Trump secured victory by securing far more votes than that. This achievement surpasses all predictions. Joe Biden's failed economic policies have helped Trump return to the White House with twice as much strength as before. Inflation and unemployment were high. The Biden administration has not been able to deal with the world's conflicts as effectively as it has in the past. Kamala Harris, who is of Asian and African descent, never received the acceptance of Trump as a symbol of patriarchy in America. The reality is that the victory of Kamala Harris, who has roots in Tamil Nadu, was not aspired to by a majority of the more than five million Indians in the US. Her approach towards India was also criticized despite her Indian roots. Kamala has also not been able to make her own contributions beyond being Biden's shadowy vice president.
In the U.S., which has 230 million voters, only 160 million people registered to vote. Of these, 8 crore cast their votes in advance. Another feature of this election is that the Republican Party got a majority in the Senate and the House of Representatives. A new awakening appeared in the world market as a reflection of Trump's assertion of victory. Trump's policies have always been an inspiration to investors. There are those who believe that with the arrival of Trump, the two major wars that are currently taking place in the world may come to an end. Trump, who boasted that he was a non-war-mongering president, is unlikely to remain silent on the issue. He is also likely to turn a blind eye to the allies' war interests as he is not interested in any of the NATO alliances. Trump was accepted by all sections of the population. Trump has also been able to gain the image of being one of them among the masses, even though he is garrulous. The assassination attempts on him also gave Trump the image of a victim.
The general assessment is that Trump's presence in the White House will be beneficial for India as well. While Trump's immigration policies have made it difficult for India in the past, there is a general belief that US foreign policy will be in India's favour in the context of changing circumstances. Shortly after confirming his victory, Trump said he would lead the United States into a new golden age. This is an unprecedented and powerful victory. He also expressed the hope that this victory would lead to making America a great nation again. The same is the belief of the Americans who gave Trump a big victory.
