Susan,

The outcome was more disenchantment with Democrats than enthusiasm for Trump.

Obama broke through the Democratic establishment to win the nomination and presidency because he was talented and a great communicator.

This failed to happen in 2020 and 2024, and we were stuck with the lackluster Joe Biden. Unfortunately, his choice for VP also failed to shine (although she can't be blamed for the defeat).

Trump will be costly for Americans, mainly because of his promised tariffs (estimated at $4,000 annually for the average household). Britons will also take a hit.

Many thanks. Best.
