The dust has settled on the US presidential election. The Republican candidate, 78-year-old former President Trump, was re-elected and won his second presidential term.
This is a rare phenomenon in American history: since 2016, neither of the two major parties has been in power for eight consecutive years.
The last time this kind of political turmoil occurred was in the 19th century.
It is particularly noteworthy that since 2016, Trump has been the Republican presidential candidate every time. He has run for election three times and won twice.
Whether you like or hate Trump, you have to admit that he does have extraordinary ability in presidential campaigns.
This year’s election can be summed up in one sentence: “The ending is expected, but the process is full of drama.”
In 2024, Trump has transformed from the leader of an “angry minority” to a representative of a multi-racial and multi-class alliance. This victory is not just accidental, but also a microcosm of changes in American society.
