U.S. president-elect Donald Trump won a historic victory Tuesday night, decisively defeating Democratic opponent Kamala Harris and helping Republicans win the Senate, and possibly hold onto the House. While much credit should be given to the former president for building a coalition that allowed him to retake the White House after his own party turned on him following the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, blame must also be placed on the Democrats for utterly failing at everything they set out to do.
