The U.S. presidential election, which was expected to be a close game, was a complete victory as former President Trump took all seven competing states.

Trump has stoked regime judgment by citing economic problems, and the support of Hispanic and young voters has been the driving force behind his victory.

In the seven contending states that will determine the outcome of the U.S. presidential election, a super-contest was expected.

However, when I opened the lid, former President Trump swept it.

Thanks to this, the vote count, which could take several days, ended blandly with former President Trump's election in a day.

The decisive factor that determined the votes was the economy.

According to exit polls, 45% of voters said their economic conditions were bad, more than doubling from four years ago.

The regime judgment theory shook the hearts of voters.

In particular, the support of Hispanics and young voters in their 20s and younger contributed to Trump's victory.

45% of Hispanics voted for Trump, up 13 percentage points from four years ago, and 42% of the under-20s vote, up 6 percentage points.

The increase in support for Trump by black men in competing states also contributed to the decision.

Vice President Harris won the women's vote on abortion, but did not widen the gap enough to overturn the race, and the vote share decreased compared to President Biden four years ago.
