After the counting was completed, Donald Trump won with an astonishing 312 electoral votes. This is the most votes won by a Republican candidate since George H.W. Bush in 1988.
“Blaze News Tonight” host Jill Savage and Blaze News editor-in-chief Matthew Peterson will be joined by Clay, founder of Outkick and co-host of “The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.” -Travis joins us to discuss how Trump was able to achieve this landslide victory. .
According to Travis, Kamala Harris has been “disastrous,” in part because “she never told us what she thought about the issues, and she was wrong about it.” “He told us that he had been there.”
“Trump, on the other hand, was right about everything,” he said, expanding his voter base by appealing to “particularly black, white, Asian and Hispanic men.”
But there was another big factor contributing to Harris' epic loss: Generation X.
“You talked about how Generation X came out in droves. Why do you think that is? Peterson asks.
“Because Gen Xers have better judgment,” Travis replies. “I believe Generation X saved America.”
“I think a big reason is that Trump appeals to people who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. “I grew up in America, which is full of beliefs about being a country,” he added.
“Many Democrats, frankly, don't believe that anymore. Many in Generation “I think it's a fundamental rejection of the idea that I like the idea that the president is peddling. American exceptionalism is a good thing. We are the freest and fairest country in the history of the world,” he said. explains. “I think Gen X is one of the biggest and most important champions of that idea.”
Gill then pointed to another group that “overwhelmingly voted for Trump”: college football players.
“Why does Donald feel so much sympathy for this group?” Jill asks.
“I think young men are innately able to see through the BS world they grew up in, this woke world where suddenly being a man is wrong,” Travis says. “I think a lot of the young guys that were in the college football programs look at this crazy Leah Thomas business and think it doesn't make any sense.”
“They're tired of having to pretend they don't believe what they believe. “I am very optimistic that these young men will make a big impact,” he added.
