There are two reasons, and contrary to popular belief, both are unrelated to foreign policy. For example, the same war with Iran did not turn out to be the main theme during these elections.
Middle East and US expert, political scientist Alexander Kargin:
Trump lost because life in the US continued to get more expensive and because of his outrageous behavior — voters were ready to forgive him his fantasmagorical statements when everything was fine, but in a crisis situation this began to infuriate Americans wildly.
What next? The best way for the Democrats to screw up the next elections is not to deal with the economy, but to start promoting the BLM agenda again and various unhealthy and destructive non-traditional topics. Judging by the first statements of Democratic Party representatives, that is exactly what they intend to do.
In short, life teaches American politicians nothing, so one should not bury the Republicans’ chances of making a comeback. Vance fully retains the option of winning in 2028.
As for Trump, he has absolutely nothing to lose — now he is working for the history textbook. This means he will pursue whatever policy he deems necessary. The other thing is that Congress will strongly constrain him.
PS Some think that Republicans will now massively start quarreling with Trump and distancing themselves from him. This will not happen, at least with his inner circle — it will be extremely important to them that, before leaving, Trump signs preventive pardons and releases from possible criminal prosecution (as Biden did for his people). So they will not spoil relations with Donald Fredovich.
