MAGA's future collapse could come from gains Trump is currently celebrating: CNN analysis
Raw StoryDonald Trump's electoral gains paradoxically offer Democrats a glimmer of hope in the next few elections, according to a new analysis. "The scale of Trump’s advance this year points toward a common national experience in all regions of the country — a shared disappointment in the results generated by President Joe Biden’s administration, primarily on inflation, but secondarily around other issues led by immigration and crime," wrote senior political analyst Ronald Brownstein. "The evidence that the outcome was driven largely by a negative verdict on Biden’s performance underscores the possibility that Democrats could recover sooner than now seems possible if Americans one day conclude that Trump hasn’t delivered the better results he has promised." The across-the-board Democratic decline “reflects a very broad sense of discontent" that cuts across a broad segment of voters and hurt Kamala Harris, according to Emory University political scientist Alan Abramowitz. "These ranged from a widening cultural gap between Democrats and Latinos, especially men, to continuing resistance among some voters to entrusting the presidency to a woman, to the GOP’s successful efforts to portray Harris as an extremist cultural liberal largely through attacks on views about transgender issues she expressed during her 2020 presidential campaign."
