Former President Donald Trump mopped the floor with Kamala Harris in a blowout comeback victory Tuesday night. As of the time of this report, Trump has a sizable lead in the popular vote and is poised to clinch the remaining battleground states.
Trump’s victory should be attributed to his strong policy, likability, election integrity team, and get-out-the-vote efforts. He would almost certainly have trounced Harris’ boss Joe Biden too, as Federalist CEO and Cofounder Sean Davis pointed out. But Trump’s historic win makes the effort to replace Joe Biden in a bloodless coup and install his unpopular vice president against the will of Democrat primary voters look a lot more ridiculous. It’s hard to imagine Biden — or a cardboard cutout for that matter — getting blown out of the water as majorly as Harris was.
“Biden still would’ve lost to Trump, but he would’ve done better than Harris and likely saved a handful of Senate seats for Democrats in the process,” Davis said on X. “Maybe even the House.”

CNN indicated early Wednesday morning that Harris failed to outperform Biden by 3 percent or more in any state.
Despite Biden’s age and visible cognitive decline, he maintained a strong connection to his Democratic base, especially minority voters and union workers
