As if it had been deliberate, liberals who hold on each phrase of Mockingbird propagandist shops just like the New York Occasions and Politico wakened this morning to 2 inaccurate, however reassuring headlines from every of the aforementioned media conglomerates.
Politico revealed a chunk titled “Trump Gained Much less Than 50 P.c. Why is Everybody Calling it a Landslide?” whereas the New York Occasions writes, “The ‘Landslide’ That Wasn’t: Trump and Allies Pump up His Slim Victory.”
Within the stand-first beneath the title, NY Occasions’ Chief White Home Correspondent Peter Bake writes:
The most recent vote rely reveals that Donald J. Trump received the favored vote by one of many smallest margins for the reason that nineteenth century. However Mr. Trump claims a “highly effective mandate.”
Politico’s Michael Schaffer is a bit more blunt in his stand-first, stating, “Proper and left have purchased the narrative of a crushing triumph. They’re fallacious.”
However are they fallacious?
In 2012, the San Francisco Giants swept the Detroit Tigers within the World Collection, successful 4 straight video games. That was 12 years in the past, during which a World Collection has occurred in every succeeding season. In that very same time-frame, there have been simply 4 elections, together with each 2012 and 2024.
Previous to the 2012 sweep within the World Collection, the final sweep was 22 years prior in 1990 when the Cincinnati Reds swept the Oakland A’s.
In both of these World Collection, it’s irrelevant what the rating of the person video games are. Even when they received by only a single run, successful is successful. However a sweep is monumental!
Nicely, get out your brooms as a result of a “sweep” is exactly what Donald Trump did within the 2024 Presidential Election.
Not solely did President Trump win 312 electoral votes to 226 and the favored vote, the primary time a Republican had carried out so in 20 years, he additionally swept each single “swing state” from 2020 and picked up a win in Nevada, the place he broke a four-election win streak for the Democrats.
Trump received Florida by greater than 13 factors, or nearly 1.5 million votes. This included a ‘yuge’ win within the former Democrat stronghold of Miami-Dade County by an earth-shattering 11.5%. This small victory might maybe be the one largest county swing after Joe Biden ‘received’ Miami-Dade by 7.3% in 2020.
That’s a 18.8% swing in Florida’s most populous county.
The citizens in america is fairly stable in both route. Statewide Republican candidates aren’t more likely to win California, New York, or Massachusetts, whereas Democrats aren’t more likely to win Texas, Florida, or Oklahoma.
Opposite to “reality checks,” Kamala Harris received all however two of the states that don’t require voters to point out an ID (Pennsylvania and Nevada). Unusual, huh? Of the remaining 35 states requiring voter ID, President Trump received all however six: Virginia, Colorado, Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire.
Nonetheless, the ‘not a landslide’ didn’t finish with the Presidency. The Republicans flipped seven seats within the Home to keep up a majority, presently at 219 to 213. To be truthful, Democrats flipped six with three races nonetheless undecided, however the Republican is main in two of the three races.
Moreover, the GOP accomplished the trifecta by successful the Senate in a 53-47 majority.
Completely ‘not a landslide,’ although.
Sadly for the Mockingbird shops talked about above, the ‘not a landslide‘ doesn’t finish there.
- The GOP retook the Michigan Home after two years of a Democrat majority
- In Minnesota, they introduced the margin to a tie
- In Pennsylvania, the GOP closed the hole to 1 within the Home whereas retaining management over the commonwealth’s Senate
- In New Hampshire, the GOP expanded their management of the Home and achieved a supermajority within the Senate
- In each Iowa and South Carolina, the GOP additionally picked up supermajorities
All of this was achieved whereas being outspent within the state legislative races by $175 million to only $50 million, in keeping with NBC.
Regardless of the completely ‘not a landslide’ from the GOP this election cycle underneath the RNC management of Chair Michael Whatley and Co-Chair Lara Trump, President Trump remains to be going through obvious obfuscation from Institution neocons within the Senate. This resulted in Matt Gaetz withdrawing from the Legal professional Normal appointment within the face of a years-long sexual assault allegation that was investigated by the DOJ with no expenses introduced.
And as we transfer alongside, a brand new allegation towards Secretary of Protection appointee Pete Hegseth looks like a veiled try and thwart one other one among President Trump’s nominees.
