Americans across the country have reacted to Donald Trump‘s astounding political comeback and revealed where they think Kamala Harris went wrong.
Trump, 78, pulled off a remarkable victory in the 2024 presidential election, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the key swing states of North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania.
Meanwhile, the vice president is on track to receive the worst Electoral College result of any Democrat since 1988 once all the votes are counted.
Many voters have since expressed their relief at the result on Wednesday, claiming Harris and the Democrats do not know what the American people really want.
‘She completely misread her constituents. And, you know, it it wasn’t as tight as it should have been. And I think that Democrats are going to have to reckon with that,’ said Crystal Boya, a Harris voter from Milwaukee.

Some voters said they supported Trump because they felt Harris could not be trusted with foreign policy and fear the country could go to war.
‘I do not believe the Democratic Party in its current form is capable of leading the United States into a major conflict and I believe that’s what we’re headed to because of this administration in large part,’ said South Carolina Trump supporter James Bessinger.
‘So if given the choice between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, who’s going to lead the military in what could be World War Three, I have to tip my hat to Donald Trump in that regard.’
Harris voter Soufyaan Edouard in Washington, D.C, added: ‘I’m honestly very disappointed, but I saw this coming last year, especially, when everything on Gaza happened. But even before, when Joe Biden announced that he was running again for president, I just saw there was the lack of enthusiasm.’

Others said they felt the Democrats had left them behind and voted for Trump because they thought the country was better under his leadership.
‘Democrats seem to just stick with the party line. And I don’t think that they, they really look at the numbers. You know, I think they make decisions with a little more emotion and less analytical,’ said Wisconsin Trump voter Ben Vollmer.
‘At the end of the day, I just look at track record, and I felt that, you know, the country was better off and more well-managed under Trump.’
North Carolina Brick and Stone Mason Bobby McMahan concluded: ‘I think Donald Trump is the man to get the job done. He’s proven that, through all this adversity piled up against him to make a comeback. To win the popular vote and the electoral vote. So, he’s the man for the job. He’s got a good team behind him’.
