It'll be interesting to see what the Democrats do now. In some ways, I think they might be strong in 2028 as they won't be the incumbent and they won't be running against Trump, but how they respond to this loss will decide what kind of candidates they have.
If Trump does bring in tariffs, then you would expect the economy to be good in the states with the industry he protects but at the national economy's cost. We would need to see how that plays out.

Yes, because votes were counted, people seem to trust the result and (I hope) there won't be a Democratic Party attempt to invalidate it.
It's a great day for Democracy when people are allowed to vote and that vote is respected, irrespective of who wins.
I am not happy with this result, to say the least, but there is some comfort that this won't collapse into civil disorder and hopefully Americans will respect how important the peaceful transfer of power is.
