The 2024 presidential election saw Donald Trump reclaim the presidency, largely driven by voter concerns over the economy, which overshadowed other issues. Despite improvements under President Biden, voters felt economic anxieties, with Trump capitalizing on these sentiments. Kamala Harris conceded the race, emphasizing a peaceful transfer of power despite past Democratic challenges to election outcomes. Notably, some Congressional races remain contested, with candidates like Marcus Molinaro yet to concede in tight races. The election outcome was influenced by some Democratic senators who supported Trump-endorsed policies, and the stock market reacted positively post-election. Voters like Henry Shippey and Katie Aiken Ritter expressed shock and a need to process the results, reflecting the emotional impact of the unexpected election outcome.
