The Spin

The Democratic Party is committed to the peaceful transfer of power to President-elect Trump. This was a hard-fought effort by the Harris campaign, and the Democratic Party believes in checks, balances, and the strength of institutions. The American people must rest assured that their voices will be heard in the months ahead, even though this is a disappointing result for many. Now is not the time for despair; the fight for social progress will continue well into the future.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 5% chance, if Donald Trump wins the 2024 US presidential election, that he will be incarcerated by 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.

Donald Trump has endured partisan lawfare and unfair persecution since leaving office in 2021, and today’s result is a resounding victory for the American people. This is a mandate for strong borders, a robust economy, an America First approach to foreign policy, and a rejection of failed left-leaning policies. The new Trump administration will pursue bold visions to Make America Great Again.
