Trump wins presidency again as global anti-incumbent sentiment grows
Donald Trump has won the presidency again, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. This victory reflects a global trend where incumbent parties are losing power, as seen in recent elections in Japan, Austria, the UK, and Botswana. Voter dissatisfaction with the status quo played a significant role in Trump's win. Many voters prioritized economic recovery over other issues, with two-thirds rating the national economy as "fair" or "poor." Harris struggled to distance herself from the Biden administration's challenges. Despite a strong campaign and fundraising efforts, Harris could not present herself as a "change" candidate. Trump's return to power marks a shift in the political landscape, echoing similar trends in democracies worldwide.
