The recent election results are in, and it seems America has once again welcomed Donald Trump into the Oval Office, this time with a decisive victory in the 2024 race. The national mood was clear: citizens were fed up with the lack of action on key issues by the Biden-Harris duo. That urgency is especially palpable when it comes to the immigration crisis that has spiraled under their watch, driving one-quarter of voters to demand that Trump gets right to work fixing this mess.
Trump’s campaign promises were as bold as ever, focusing heavily on securing the southern border and reigniting the construction of the border wall. His assertive declarations about deporting illegals on day one of his new presidency resonated widely among voters. It appears that Trump hit upon a universal truth: no one likes the idea of unchecked immigration, and nearly 82 percent of Americans—including some who might typically lean left—agreed with his vision for mass deportations.
But immigration isn’t the only hot button issue that voters are itching for Trump to tackle as he takes office. In fact, tax cuts made a distinct showing in the post-election survey results. Respondents expressed an eagerness for a return to the pro-business policies of the Trump administration, particularly those that incentivized companies to create jobs domestically rather than offshoring them. Voters are ready for a tax strategy that not only benefits American workers but also spares seniors from taxes on tips and social security payments.

The election exit polls from NBC News revealed a telling snapshot of public sentiment, especially in battleground states like Ohio. Nearly half of Ohioans believe that illegal immigration tangibly harms the economy, while only a slight minority think it provides any benefit to the country. This perspective cuts right through the fog of liberal rhetoric that’s often peddled about the virtues of immigration.
As Trump prepares to step back into the role of Commander-in-Chief, it’s clear he has a mandate from the people to turn the tide on pressing issues like immigration and economic policy. With the track record to back him up, conservative Americans are keenly ready to support a White House agenda that finally puts forth a robust plan to restore order and prosperity in a country they believe has strayed off course. Given the stakes, the country may be in for a refreshing change of direction with its newly elected leader, who seems determined to enact the will of the voters.
