After being ousted by the Democratic Party, Joe Biden may have been less enthusiastic about Harris’ campaign than it first appeared. At the same time, the First Lady wore a MAGA-red pantsuit on election day, leading many to speculate that the Bidens may have actively voted against Harris.

The nation’s current education policies are leaving students struggling, and educators often put politics over proper teaching. However, with Trump promising an overhaul of the education system, many are predicting reform under the new administration.

10. Common-Sense Policies

Companies like Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics face reduced demand as international conflicts are anticipated to cool.

3. Mark Cuban

Cuban, who spoke out almost daily on Harris’ behalf, is now walking back much of his support and attempting to reverse course on his criticism of Trump.

4. Universities

Trump is expected to target universities with large endowments that promote “woke ideology.”

5. Corrupt DOJ Officials

Department of Justice officials, including Jack Smith, Merrick Garland, and Letitia James, may face scrutiny and consequences for their lawfare campaigns against Trump.

6. Mainstream Media

Traditional media outlets, which have long held complete control of election cycle coverage, have completely destroyed their credibility with biased narratives and open politicization.

7. Volodymyr Zelensky

The Ukrainian president may lose financial support under the new U.S. administration.

8. Political Leaders of America’s Rivals and Competitors

Leaders in Iran, China, Ukraine, and other regions are predicted to face greater scrutiny or tariffs.

9. Left-Leaning Ideas

Democrats have made a dramatic leftward shift, losing touch with the average voter. Trump’s resounding victory comes as a clear mandate to undo these far-left policies.
