The President-elect, Melania and Barron celebrate his victory at the Palm Beach County Convention Center
On October 8, 2024, I predicted that on January 20, 2025, Kamala Harris would be sworn in as our new president.
I am very happy to admit that I was wrong, dead wrong!
As of noon Texas time, Trump had 292 electoral votes. He needed 270 to win. Trump also won the popular vote.
By noon, the Republicans were also sweeping both houses of Congress, 52-43 in the Senate and 201-184 in the House.
Kamala Harris was unable to word salad her way into the White House. Her 'chicken in every pot' promise did not work. Neither did her screeching on women's reproductive rights.
What won it for Trump? Let me quote what Jim Carville said in 1992: "It's the economy, stupid."
At his rallies, Trump asked, "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" To America's workers the obvious answer was "no". The economy was by far the top issue, followed by illegal immigration and abortion.
Kamala Harris was unable to word salad her way into the White House.
Barack Obama's campaigning for Harris did not help her and now he won't be serving his fourth term as president.
One of Trump's first acts as president should be to throw the Obama-holdovers out of the government, especially those in the State Department.
Trump's victory is not just good for America, but it is also good for Israel. Although he and Netanyahu have grown apart, Trump will never threaten Israel with an arms embargo like the Biden-Harris administration has done.
I'm a happy camper now and I'm very glad that I was wrong in predicting a Harris win.
