“We’re going to win this election because we have no choice,” Trump said at his Mar-a-Lago resort as he savored his sweetest election night since he beat Hillary Clinton in 2016.
The time for that excuse is going to fast run out now that the shape of the 2024 general election is clear.
“Until now, people didn’t think it was going to be Biden versus Trump, but here we are and we’re ready to go,” he said.
One reason why Trump didn’t come across as a loser to his supporters was that he convinced grassroots GOP voters that he didn’t actually lose the 2020 election.
Democratic control of the Senate and the tiny House GOP majority that fell short of red wave expectations were widely blamed on his botched strategizing.
