The 2024 Presidential Election concluded with the shocking and commanding victory of President Donald Trump. As a political independent I have examined the exit polls as well as qualitative and quantitative data to better understand these results . Although I'm a registered Independent, I primarily do vote Democrat and would actually like to see Democrats when elections again. There were a series of mistakes and failures by the Democratic Party throughout this election cycle that ultimately lead to them losing not just the Presidency but also the Senate as well. I examine the series of mistake and issues from an educational perspective, so Democrats and can learn and make adjustments.
