Trump Already Won

Regardless of what happens today, Donald Trump has already secured a political victory that will reshape America for decades. Through sheer force of personality, Trump has achieved something few leaders accomplish: a transformation of both his own party and his opposition, with implications extending far beyond his time in office.
When Trump assumed the Republican mantle in 2016, the party was a shadow of its current self—barely distinguishable from the Democrats on issues like immigration, trade, and foreign policy. At that time, Pew Research Center studies indicated that a mere 33 percent of Republicans expressed confidence in the party’s leaders. Today, however, the Republican Party is unmistakably Trump’s creation: a multi-racial, multi-ethnic coalition drawing in working and middle-class Americans. Census data shows that over 28 percent of Republicans identify as non-white, up from 22 percent in 2016, and the party’s working-class voter base has expanded by 15 percent. Across governorships, state legislatures, and congressional leadership, “Trump Republicans” now overwhelmingly outnumber moderates, securing his populist, America-first vision.
But Trump’s influence didn’t stop at redefining the GOP; he reshaped the Democratic Party, pushing it toward a reckoning with its own priorities. Joe Biden, long the symbol of Democratic politics, faced a formidable challenge in his 2024 re-election bid in large part due to Trump’s determination to remain as the leader of the Republican Party.
Despite Biden’s 2020 victory and his party’s confidence in him for most of the 2024 election cycle, Trump’s relentless campaigning became a drag on Biden’s re-election hopes. By early 2024, Biden’s approval ratings had dropped below 35 percent, with Gallup data showing an unprecedented disapproval rate for his handling of inflation and border security—deemed “extremely concerning” by 78 percent of independents.
