NPRCenter-right pollster Christine Matthews discusses election results STEVE INSKEEP, HOST: Former President Trump will be the 47th president of the United States, according to a race call earlier this morning by The Associated Press. INSKEEP: And let's talk about the national picture here - the huge news that former President Trump is going back to the White House. And what I think may explain that is when we were saying that, you know, as analysts were looking at how Trump was closing out his campaign with what looked like a lot of faux pas, a lot of, you know, alienating statements, that sort of thing, that ultimately didn't matter to voters. And what I find really, I don't know, difficult to understand, I think, is, you know, both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, two women candidates for president, didn't do anything to change the dynamics of the gender gap.
