The Associated Press made the call early on Wednesday morning, confirming that Trump secured his victory after an impressive performance in Wisconsin, which pushed him over the critical 270 electoral votes needed to clinch the presidency. With a total of 312 electoral votes to his competitor’s 226, Trump has undoubtedly made his mark once again.
In addition to the Electoral College, Trump also topped the popular vote with 74,648,928 votes, beating his opponent who received 70,915,828 votes. This significant comeback, marking a historic non-consecutive presidential term, has everyone talking.
Scott Braddock from the Quorum Report joined a local analyst to dissect the key takeaways from Tuesday’s results. They delved into the reasons why the polls underestimated Trump’s appeal. “I think a lot of it can be attributed to the Democratic Party’s collapse in this election,” Braddock explained. He noted that the Democrats made a risky choice in their leadership, with the sitting president stepping aside and the vice president attempting to gain momentum on such short notice.
Braddock likened the situation to gambling in Las Vegas, saying, “It would be like putting all your money on red without even checking into your hotel room first.” Such a dramatic leap didn’t pay off for the Democrats, leaving them to reflect on their strategy.
Turning attention to the Texas Senate race, expectations were high for a tighter contest between Ted Cruz and Colin Allred, but Cruz emerged victorious by a significant margin. Braddock noted, “With Texas being a predominantly Republican state, we anticipated that Cruz would come out on top.”.
Despite predictions of a closer race, Cruz’s campaign felt increasingly confident leading up to Election Day. The sentiment was that the national trends indicated that the Democrats were struggling. Braddock pointed out that key issues impacting voters included worries about the economy, a sentiment that often sways the voters against the party in power.
As election results poured in, Braddock also discussed the state of affairs in the Texas Capitol. While Republicans did well overall, there was little change in the makeup of the legislature. “There was only one incumbent who lost, and the rest of the Democratic presence remained strong,” he said. This means that the Democrats’ influence is likely to stay pretty consistent moving into the upcoming session.
When asked about the implications for the Democratic Party, Braddock suggested the need for some serious self-reflection. He advised them not to overreact to the election results and to take their time in finding a new direction. Conversely, he also cautioned Republicans against pushing too hard on their legislative agendas, as it could lead to backlash in the future.
As the political landscape shifts, it’s clear that this election cycle has left many lessons to be learned. With Trump back in the game and Texas securing its Republican stronghold, both parties will need to navigate carefully in the months to come.
Stay tuned for further developments and insights as we continue to unpack the implications of this pivotal election week!
