West Palm Beach – There’s a triumphalist feeling in the crowd here early Wednesday morning as election returns continue to roll in on the screens here inside Donald Trump’s election watch party, a hop and a skip from his official 2024 campaign headquarters. Major network calls for Trump in two of the seven battlegrounds — and his strong performance in the five others as of this writing — have supporters people feeling over the moon here.
Assuming Vice President Kamala Harris loses the election – an outcome that looks likelier by the minute as the electoral returns keep trending in the GOP nominee’s favor — countless analyses will be written about what, exactly, went wrong. But at this early hour, Republicans are eager to offer a few ideas. Start off with the GOP campaign’s message: an unpopular administration marked by high prices, mass illegal immigration, and chaos overseas. Add to that list a decision by the party to replace a post-debate Joe Biden with someone who is currently helping him run the country, has lots of policy baggage from her 2020 presidential primary run, and hasn’t been all that interested in distancing herself from her boss.
