  • Donald Trump secures a notable victory, winning in all demographic groups and states.
  • Despite Joe Biden not running, his failure to prepare a new generation of Democratic leaders is seen as a reason for the party's downfall.
  • Kamala Harris lacked sufficient time to prepare her presidential run.
  • Healthy macroeconomic figures have not been enough to attract voters whose wages are not keeping up with inflation.
  • Trump has demonstrated that assembling minorities does not necessarily result in a majority.
  • The middle classes in the U.S. feel they are losing quality of life, and Trump has managed to connect with this sentiment.

Conclusion: The Democratic Party needs to start constructing its own discourse around these issues if it wants to avoid another defeat in future elections.
