US elections 2024: Ultimately, the American people re-elected Republican Party candidate and former President Donald Trump as President. Trump created a new history by winning easily. He became the second President to win the election after a long time after losing once. Democratic Party candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris also got a chance to create history. She could have become America's first female President, but like Hillary Clinton, she failed. Like Hillary, Kamala Harris also lost to Trump. It's clear that President Joe Biden's legacy weighs heavily on him. Perhaps Kamala Harris's path would have been easier if Biden had not proven to be a weak president and had not played a decisive role in the economy and global problems, and especially in the Ukraine and Gaza wars.
Kamala Harris also suffered losses due to the Democratic Party's liberal stance towards refugees and illegal immigrants. Being a woman of Indian and African descent, she was not liked as expected by women as well as foreign nationals. This also became the reason for his defeat. There are enough reasons to conclude that he has not captured the pulse of the American people like Trump has. Trump was successful in portraying himself as a strong leader, conveying that America was capable of solving the world's problems, and that he had the ability to turn around the inflation-stricken economy. . His businessman image also helps in this.
With the Republican Party having a majority in both houses of the US Parliament, it is certain that Trump will be free to act as he wishes, but it cannot be ignored that he is an arrogant leader who takes unpredictable decisions. There is no limit as to what he will say, when and what he will do on any issue. He does not see climate change as a problem and does not put global interests ahead of America's economic interests. However, the world was relatively stable during his first term and he contributed to this. Trump becoming President is considered good for Indian interests and there are some concrete reasons behind it. In his last tenure, he emerged as a friend of India, but one cannot turn away from the fact that he keeps complaining about India's high import duty rates. They also do not like that the trade balance between the two countries is tilted in favor of India. Along with trade policy, India will also have to be careful about its stance on H-1B visas.
