After Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, many of his supporters argue that he outmaneuvered the Democratic Party once again. With his unorthodox approach to campaigning and his ability to rally his base, Trump’s success has left many questioning whether the Democrats were caught off guard or simply unable to adapt to his political playbook. Whether it’s his direct communication style or his strategy of leveraging cultural and economic issues, did Trump truly outsmart his opponents, or was it simply a matter of a divided electorate?
Yes
He did.
No
He didn’t.
