The media is trying to make sense of the election results.
What they’re discovering is even more shocking than the results on election night.
And a former CNN host gave Democrats some bad news about this election that crushed them.
Democrats have no positive takeaways from the 2024 Election
The 2024 Election was a catastrophe for Democrats.
Vice President Kamala Harris came into Election Day with high hopes but she lost every battleground state to former President Donald Trump.
She became the first Democrat to lose the popular vote since John Kerry in 2004.
Republicans flipped control of the Senate and look like they’ll end with a 53-seat majority.
Control of the House is still up in the air but looks like the Republicans will end up with a slim majority.
Former CNN political analyst Chris Cillizza told Democrats there were no positives to take away from the election on his YouTube show.
“Donald Trump is the next President of the United States,” Cillizza said. “So, 312 electoral votes — that is more than he won in 2016. Even more striking, I think Donald Trump is going to win or looks likely at this point to win the popular vote, which I think no one thought would happen . . . This is a sweeping victory. This is an absolute mandate for Donald Trump.”
He pointed out that Trump made significant inroads with Hispanic men and young voters.
“What that tells me is that the coalitions are realigning. Hispanics are no longer a reliable Democratic vote, particularly Hispanic men,” Cillizza said. “Young people are no longer a reliable Democratic vote, particularly young men. Donald Trump has remade not just the Republican Party but also the coalitions that elect these two parties.”
Democrats head into the political wilderness
Cillizza gave Democrats the painful news that nothing went right for them in the election and now they’re looking at least two years out of power.
“There is no bright light that I can see for Democrats today as they sort of wake up and try to dig out from this. Trump won more convincingly, I think, than anyone thought he would, maybe outside of his campaign,” Cillizza explained.
Trump’s strength at the top of the ticket helped Republicans win control of the Senate and likely keep their slim majority in the House.
“Again, popular vote victory and an Electoral College victory,” Cillizza stated. “He helped bring Republicans into the Senate majority. The House remains very much a tossup, but the smart analysts I’ve seen say it leans slightly toward Republicans.”
“So you could very well be looking at full Republican control for at least two years — control of the White House, the Senate and the House,” Cillizza added. “And that, to me, was not a likely outcome when we went into the night.”
Trump will return to the White House with likely Republican control of Congress to enact his agenda.
And he can hit the ground running with the knowledge that he gained during his first four years in office.
