Beyond Victory and Defeat: A Vision for National Unity

The election is finally over, marking a stunning victory for former President Trump, who not only won all swing states but also, for the first time in 20 years, secured the popular vote. This required changing the opinions of 7 percent of all votersโ€”a whopping 10 million people! With the Senate and, most likely, the House on his side, Trump now has a free hand to implement his policies.

However, the nation remains deeply divided, with no signs of healing. Media platforms like YouTube, cable TV, and TikTok are filled with attacks and counter-attacks. While Republicans have indeed won the majority, they are unable to reach out to the other 48 percent of voters who chose differently. The election still feels like an โ€œI can overpower youโ€ contest.

Does it have to be this way? Is there anything that can pull our nation together after such a bitterly fought election?

I still remember the moment former President Trump announced his presidential campaign at Mar-a-Lago in November 2022, just one week after the midterm election. It was a subdued event, a low point for Trump and his supporters, as they had just lost most of their battlesโ€”except for victories by J.D. Vance and Ron DeSantis, the latter of whom soon became Trumpโ€™s next political headache.

When Gov. DeSantis announced his own campaign four months later, touting his impressive midterm election results, Trumpโ€™s path back to the White House grew even murkier.

From then on, however, a stunning sequence of events unfolded.

In March 2023, Trump was indicted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for alleged hush money payments to an adult film star. Outraged, Trumpโ€™s supporters rallied, and his poll numbers surged by five percentage points.

Next came the classified documents indictment in June, followed by the Jan. 6 election interference indictment, the Georgia election interference case, the high-profile Mar-a-Lago raid in August, and the New York bank fraud case in October. Yet each of these misfortunes turned into blessings, raising Trumpโ€™s poll numbers by five percentage points each time. Soon, DeSantis found himself unable to keep up, trailing in Trumpโ€™s wake.
