Harris' unexpected defeat ushers in Trump's second term
When Kamala Harris replaced Joe Biden in the presidential race, hopes for victory grew among the Democrats. Ultimately, the current Vice President of the United States suffered defeat in the face-off with Donald Trump. This is evidenced by the detailed election results.
Donald Trump has become the new President of the United States. Although we do not yet know the official election results, the Republican candidate has already secured at least 270 electoral votes and can prepare for a return to the White House.
Spectacular defeat for Harris. "Joe Biden 2nd biggest winner"
The 78-year-old politician was almost the favourite from the beginning of this year's elections. In numerous polls, he had a substantial lead over Joe Biden, and his ratings rose further after the televised debate, which was extremely unsuccessful for the current head of state. That event led to Biden's eventual withdrawal from the race for a second term.
When Kamala Harris received the Democratic Party's nomination in the summer, the mood within the party revived. In many polls, the current vice president's ratings significantly increased, giving hope for defeating Donald Trump. However, as November 5th approached, public opinion polls were less favourable for Harris.
Ultimately, it can be described as a defeat for the Democratic candidate, who, aware of her loss - like Hillary Clinton in 2016, did not even give a speech to her supporters after the voting ended.
The shock was also experienced by journalists in the CNN studio as they analyzed the election results. They show that Harris did not achieve a better result in any county than Biden in 2020. - "Holy smokes! Literally nothing? Literally not one county?" - asked a stunned Jake Tapper.
Eric Abbenante, a documentarian and filmmaker, aptly summarized the discussion on American television: "Trump was the biggest winner tonight. Joe Biden 2nd biggest winner," Abbenante wrote on the X platform.
