The big winners in the 2024 presidential election, besides the American people, will be former President Donald J. Trump and President Joe Biden.
Why?
The election will have demonstrated that President Trump’s policies were working and were consistent with the desires of the American people. The election will also have made clear that President Biden, with all his ineptitude and cognitive challenges, was still a better candidate than the maven of mediocrity, Vice President Kamala Harris.
On every issue that truly matters to all Americans, the 80 percent issues, President Trump’s approach was vindicated:
Border security, check.
Economic trust, check.
Personal safety, check.
World stability, check.
And concerning the war on American values and culture, things like preventing men from participating in women’s sports, and not using taxpayer funds to pay for the sex reassignment surgery of illegal aliens and criminals, Donald Trump‘s policies were more widely accepted.

For President Biden, the fact that Vice President Harris sank like a brick is reason for a personal, private celebration. Dr. Jill, Hunter, and brother Jim can set aside the grifting for a moment and revel in the fact that Kamala outperformed in underperforming.
No doubt, President Biden was more than peeved that Harris and the Democrat-media-money machine overthrew him for someone that even Joe recognized was glaringly incompetent.
President Biden might not have won, though we’ll never know. But what we suspected—that Haris was not ready and never will be ready for prime time—has been confirmed. And for President Biden, that must seem like a win, no matter how much he hates Trump, no matter how many of Trump’s supporters seem like garbage to Biden.
And for Americans, indeed the world, we will all be better off. The MAGA crowd doesn’t just want certain groups to do better; we don’t play identity politics. We want America to do better. We want the American people to instruct its government. We want peace, prosperity, safety, stability, and freedom for all Americans.
So, when President Trump secures the border as he did in his previous term, all of America wins—not just the MAGA team.
When Trump brings the cost of energy down by facilitating the exploration, development, refinement, and distribution of our natural resources, all of America will pay less for gas at the pump, less for food and other commodities, and will experience more economic freedom. That’s why even an Electric Vehicle producer like Elon Musk supports these policies. And all America is blessed, not just the anti-American Leftists that Democrats prefer.
Trump promises to punish prosecutors who won’t prosecute criminals, and cities and states that insist on protecting criminal illegal aliens and favor criminals over victims. That will bring safety to all Americans, not just those who voted for Trump.
And when Trump uses his strength of personality and America’s soft and hard power to bring an end to conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Iran (and its proxies), and settle down the saber rattling of North Korea and China, it isn’t just the America First crowd that benefits. It is all Americans, and indeed the entire world, that is more stable and peaceful.
Americans also showed that we remember very clearly the benefits of the Trump policies versus the unsavory byproducts of the Harris-Biden regime. After all, the entire world is better off and more stable when America is strong. The bad guys of the world have to think twice, and our markets help other nations prosper.
President Trump and his policies have been vindicated. Joe Biden has received a small measure of payback.
But, most of all, every American will be better off under a Trump 47 Administration.
