The 2024 presidential election was all about a return to normalcy in a post Covid Era; Americans wanted to forget about Covid, inflation, economic uncertainty, and vaccine mandates. President Donald Trump campaigned on the economy, immigration, and the war in Ukraine. Americans were fed up with pouring billions of dollars into the Ukrainian-Russian War without any end to the war in sight. Moreover, Americans were told that they needed to fight climate change at the expense of the U.S. fossil fuel industry. Americans reject this idea of investing everything they have in the green energy sector alone. They want to diversify their energy sector to enjoy more competitive prices. Trump promised to lower energy costs by increasing the oil supply in the economy. Moreover, Trump vowed to end the Ukrainian-Russian war within 24 hours through a negotiated deal. This promise might seem unachievable, but Americans no longer want to spend in the Ukrainian-Russian War. In 1980, Republican candidate Ronald Reagan told Americans: ¨ Are you better off today than you were four years ago?¨ On election day, Americans answered this question by electing Ronald Reagan and by ending the Carter era. Trump’s election is a historical repeat of the 1980 Presidential Election, when a majority of voters answered that question by voting for change in 2024; they rejected the inflationary era, the vaccine mandates, vokeism, the Russia-Ukraine War, big government, and they wanted a return to normalcy.
