00:00 Former US President Donald Trump, during an event on December 5, predicted he would receive
00:10 150 million votes from the public in the 2024 US presidential election.
00:17 He has been impeached twice, tried to thwart the peaceful transfer of power after losing
00:21 the 2020 presidential election, faces scores of charges in multiple criminal cases, and
00:27 his critics warn he is plotting to rule as an autocrat.
00:30 Yet Donald Trump could still return to the White House.
00:33 More than half of the party's voters have backed Trump's presidential nomination from
00:37 the Republican Party.
00:38 An opinion poll found that 61% of self-identified Republicans said they would vote for Donald
00:43 Trump in the state-by-state nominating contest to pick a challenger to incumbent US President
00:48 Joe Biden.
00:49 Trump is looking at a remarkable comeback for a one-term president who three years ago
00:53 appeared vanquished and humiliated.
00:56 Here are the reasons why Trump could win the November 2024 election against Democratic
01:01 incumbent Joe Biden.
01:04 Unhappy voters.
01:06 The Biden administration asserts that the economy is performing well, citing a significant
01:10 drop in unemployment to 3.9% from the 6.3% rate when Trump departed office.
01:16 Additionally, they highlight a decline in inflation from its peak of over 9% in June
01:20 2022 to 3.2% as of October.
01:23 However, a considerable segment of the population, including many voters of color and young individuals,
01:29 hold a contrasting viewpoint.
01:32 They emphasize that wages are not aligning with the rising costs of essential commodities
01:36 like groceries, cars, houses, as well as child and elder care.
01:41 Speaking to fear.
01:43 Addressing concerns that reach beyond economic factors, voters are experiencing unease that
01:47 goes deeper.
01:48 Trump addresses the genuine or perceived anxieties of many white Americans in a nation undergoing
01:53 increased diversity and cultural progressiveness.
01:55 Moreover, there's a prevailing feeling of regression, a sense that fundamental aspects
02:00 of American life, such as owning a home, securing a wage that matches inflation and accessing
02:05 a college education are slipping away for many.
02:07 Surveys indicate that voters are troubled by issues related to crime and are apprehensive
02:12 about the unauthorized flow of migrants crossing the US-Mexico border.
02:17 Trump's actions not disqualifying for many voters.
02:20 Despite criticism from within his own party, the Democratic Party, and the media, a substantial
02:25 number of voters do not consider Trump's actions as disqualifying for holding office.
02:30 Rather than viewing him as unfit, many of his supporters firmly believe that Trump is
02:34 a target of a political witch hunt.
02:37 A survey conducted earlier this year revealed that at least half of Republicans expressed
02:41 a willingness to vote for Trump, even if he were convicted of a crime.
02:45 Biden gets all the blame, no credit.
02:48 Trump could leverage the current White House narrative, which has struggled to convince
02:52 a significant portion of the public that Biden's job creation initiatives involving substantial
02:56 government investments in infrastructure, clean energy, and ship manufacturing have
03:01 positively impacted their lives.
03:03 Additionally, Biden faces challenges related to two ongoing foreign conflicts that have
03:07 caused divisions among Americans.
03:10 Trump's non-interventionist "America First" stance may find resonance among voters concerned
03:15 about potential increased US involvement in regions like Ukraine or Israel, particularly
03:20 as Biden adheres to a more conventional and interventionist approach to American foreign
03:24 policy.
