Donald Trump is going to be the 47th president. I personally have not been a fan, and would not advocate for the types of candidates nominated for the office in the last three election cycles for both tickets. I would rather see a younger generation with fresh ideas for the country's movement and evolution.

I do believe it is a difficult path for a female to become president in the United States. I do believe the Biden presidency implemented good paths for infrastructure upgrade that the country very much needs. I feel regardless of who was in charge, the rise out of a Post Covid world would have had challanges.

Specific to this election cycle. I felt it would be tough for the Dems to hold the Senate. I felt the House could flip.

It would have been best for Biden to graciously announce past the SOTU in 2023 that he would not seek a 2nd term and retire from public service on Jan 20, 2025. I feel clearly inside people wanted to remain where they were and that was a root cause to what happened in the last 4 months. Had Biden moved aside then, there would have been a natural, organic path for a DEM nominee that may have not been Harris.

The metrics in what I have seen returned here do not look good for the DEMs. They are growing away from non college educated crowd and Latin and African American. They clearly struggle with independent voters. Also from what I see so far, seems like less votes will be casted for the presidential race overall than in 2020.

NC and Arizona numbers are interesting. Trump to carry the states, but in NC there will be a new gov, AG that are DEM. Arizona a DEM will take a Senate seat.

I do have concerns about a 2nd trump administration and what that looks like and who is a part of that.

Small little tidbit, with Josh Stein winning NC there are now 3 Josh's that are Jews who are Democrat govenors of states.

I feel the DEMs can hit a reset and figure out grassroots and target House races at the midterms. They won't be touching the Senate in 26 races. It is now set up for a MAGA JD Vance vs a hopefully cutting edge DEM candidate with executive experience at the state level.

Barring some type of self destruction the MAGA and Trump brand in the GOP is there to stay.

Individually, am I ultimately impacted by this presidential result? No

I do feel the general voting public continues to be conned.

I will you all peace and harmony.
 
That may be the most thoughtful post you've ever made here, and I mean that sincerely.

One thing under the "duh" category is the Dems moved away from the working class a long time ago. My parents and grandparents were all NY working-class Democrats from the early 1900s up until the last 40 years. People of color is a newer phenomenon, but they have started to doubt, rightly, the sincerity of the Democrats who claim to represent them.
