I want to thank you. I will not let you down. America's future will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer, and stronger than it has ever been before. Welcome to Watch Mojo, and today we're breaking down the factors that led to former president Donald Trump winning the 2024 election to become the 47th president of the United States, defeating vice president Kamala Harris. Let me tell you, we have a new star. A Star is Born. Elan America's right word shift. Frankly, this was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time. There's never been anything like this in this country, and maybe beyond. As reported by the New York Times's Reed J Epstein, president-elect Trump won Florida, Ohio, and Texas by over 10 percentage points each. While that in itself might not have been terribly shocking, Epstein noted that Blue State shifted. Two New York moved 13 points toward him, and Virginia shifted six points in his direction. Look, just 28% of American voters think the country is going in the right direction, is on the right track, and I want you to

put that into a historical perspective for you. This shift, which reportedly blindsided Democrats and their supporters, would appear to stem from voter dissatisfaction with the Biden presidency. VP Harris notably struggled to convince the public that her administration would differ significantly from President Biden's overall. Democrats underestimated Trump's appeal as a political outsider, costing them the election. The fundamental, the original sin here, that Biden stayed in the race when perhaps he should have stepped aside and had an open primary, and perhaps Democrats would have had a better shot. Florida and Ohio go reliably red. I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president. While it may seem like a distant memory in 2024 when Trump won both states by double digits, there was a time when the now solidly red states of Ohio and Florida were actually battleground zones where Democrats also stood a chance. However, in recent years, the states have moved decisively to the right, and every citizen, I will fight for.

you for your family and your future every single day. I will be fighting for you and with every breath in my body. As reported by CNN's Eric Bradner, Gregory C, and Daniel Strauss, quote, Flor could be on track to become the next Texas, poised for a generation of Republican dominance built on a coalition of older non-college-educated voters, younger Hispanic voters, conservatives migrating from other states, and more. Most damningly for Democrats, CNN wrote that Miami-Dade County, which Hillary Clinton won overwhelmingly in 2016, was taken handily by Trump in 2024. I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe, and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve. This will truly be the Golden Age of America. That's what we have to have. Roe v. Wade fallout wasn't enough for Democrats. This is a magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again. Over the course of his 2024 presidential campaign, abortion was one issue that Trump consistently faced backlash on.

regardless of party affiliations. While the president-elect has gone back and forth on his personal position, seemingly favoring leaving the procedure up to the states, it's inarguable that Republican opposition to abortion galvanized Harris voters. Two people who are answering this ex, you got the state of democracy 35%, the economy 31%, immigration 11%, and abortion 14%. Ultimately, however, Harris's reliance on the issue to topple the Trump Empire proved to be an unsuccessful maneuver. We'll get into the specifics of the Trump campaign's primary issues a bit later, but for now, it seems that the Democrats banking on voter outrage with regard to abortion was not sufficient motivation to swing the public their way, despite major gains off the back of the issue in 2022. Again, you might look at that and think state of democracy and abortion, those are issues that should favor Comm Harris, where you've got the economy and immigration for Donald Trump, that's still a really, really big important chunk. The political gender gap America

has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate. We have taken back control of the Senate. Wow, that's good for the second time in 8 years and three presidential elections. Donald Trump won a considerable victory over a female Democratic candidate. According to CNN's exit polling, voting was polarized along gender lines, with men voting overwhelmingly for Trump and women for Harris. We know it is time for a new generation of leadership in America. It's crucially important to point out that the Trump campaign leveraged the internet to reach out to young men, having the former president appear on wildly popular podcasts hosted by comedians Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn. In addition, Trump also benefited greatly from his Elon Musk endorsement. The world's richest man poured over $100 million into a Super PAC supporting Trump and also made use of the social media platform X, which he owns. Now remember, young men, they don't vote a ton. They're not showing up every four years to get out there and cast their ballot. But the Trump campaign identified them as somebody who could as this demographic.

group who they could try to turn out. The Trump campaign successfully courted Latino voters, been talking about this political realignment. The fact that he expanded his support among Latino voters, he expanded his support among non-white voters, something that we just didn't think we would see after significantly losing the Latino male vote to President Biden in 2020. Trump did his best to make up for lost time in 2024. His subsequent efforts to court men of color were an overwhelming success. Trump won Latino men by eight points in 2024, with a huge chunk of those votes coming from Florida and Texas. In every single speech over the last few years, he would say, We had the greatest economy, we had the greatest economy, and I think a lot of people really believed that in the end. In a stark but illuminating contrast, Vice President Harris predictably won the Democratic stronghold that is California, but as noted by Axios, quote, appeared to be underperforming Biden's 2020 numbers in several other heavily Latino areas, including Merced County, where 64% of the

population is Latino. We're going to make it the best it's ever been. We can do that. We just, if we had to wait longer, I don't know. It was going bad, and it was going bad fast. Republicans reclaim the Senate. The Democrats were hoping to hold on to states, those Midwestern states that even if Trump won them. Well, it's looking like they're going to take all those states, possibly Nevada as well. You could be looking at 56 seats in the Senate for the Republicans. That would be the biggest seat number of seats they've had, I think, in at least 20 years. In yet another sign of general voter unhappiness and malaise, Republicans made major gains following closely watched Senate races in Montana, Ohio, and West Virginia. At the time of writing, control of the House of Representatives, where Republicans already have a majority, hadn't yet been determined. But as noted by Reuters, Republican victory there would, quote, help Trump deliver on his promise to slash taxes and restrict immigration for at least the next two years until the 2026 midterm elections.

However, it seems worth pointing out that despite their overall control of the Senate, quote Republicans will not secure the 60-vote majority needed to advance most legislation in the chamber. We're going to pay you back. We're going to do the best job. We're going to turn it around. It's got to be turned around. It's got to be turned around fast, and we're going to turn it around. We're going to do it in every way, with so many ways, but we're going to do it in every way. Voter frustration with the Biden administration. This is about what the Democrats did while in office over the last four years. Inflation, which was so high during much of this administration, and many people are still feeling the pain of that. Democrats are surely licking their wounds at what comes as a devastating defeat to them, a rebuttal by voters to four years under Joe Biden. However, we're not sure they should be terribly surprised. For years, the party seemed to dismiss public and political concerns.

about President Biden's cognitive abilities, as well as his advanced age. At the time, Biden was the oldest elected president; he has since been surpassed by Trump. On behalf of this great group of people, these are hardworking people, these are fantastic people, and we can add a few names like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He came in similarly. Although Biden is credited with reducing inflation and helping to lead the country to recovery following the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the American people can't help but express anger, frustration, and fear at an unstable housing market and the sky-high prices of food and gas. We're going to be paying down debt, we're going to be reducing taxes, we have, we can do things that nobody else can do, nobody else is going to be able to do it. China doesn't have what we have, nobody has what we have. Before we continue, be sure to subscribe to our channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos.

The wages and wage growth has not kept up with cost of living. The darker the county, the more difficult it has been for the people that live in that county. It speaks volumes about the mindset of the general American public that Trump could be the first Republican president since George W. Bush in 2004 to win the popular vote. A feat the president-elect couldn't even achieve in his first term when he decisively lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton. And it also looks like we'll be keeping control of the House of Representatives. And I want to thank Mike Johnson. I think he's doing a terrific job. And this is despite being the first convicted felon to hold the nation's highest office. As noted by the Associated Press, the 45th and 47th president met voters where they were at. Quote, overall about half of Trump voters said inflation was the biggest issue.

factoring into their election decisions about as many said that of the situation at the US-Mexico border. According to AP vote cast, 67% of voters said not good or poor. Awfully difficult to win when it that 67%. And how did those 67% of voters vote in this election? We see look at this March. Yeah, yeah, you can't win.
