Despite the trials, the accusations, the real and alleged scandals, Donald Trump returns to the White House with a clear success at the polls. The Americans chose him and rejected the proposal of Kamala Harris, Biden’s deputy who took the field after the president’s withdrawal. “We clearly hope that Kamala Harris wins. There are many reasons from our point of view to hope so,” Democratic Party secretary Elly Schlein declared at an event at the Temple of Hadrian in Rome. Trump? “We are talking about a person who in recent days has made no secret of his hatred for the EU. Even from the point of view of international relations, it is to be hoped that Trump does not win these elections.” Things went differently, after which the dem leader’s silence.
Lia Quartapelle, a deputy of the Democratic Party, expressed concern when speaking on Adnkronos’ Breakfast in America. “It is a large victory with such a dimension that it says that the explanations that will be given that Kamala Harris is a woman, that she is from a minority, that she smiled too much, that she did not have a political platform, are partial. Trump’s victory rests on of the problems, of the currents that run through the United States and perhaps the entire West, which are very profound and deserve greater attention and reflection”. What is clear, for the dem, “is that the impact will be political on the whole of Europe. They will be four very tough years, I believe, for our continent, for our country”.
Among the 5 Stars, “Giuseppi” Conte greets his old interlocutor from when he was at Palazzo Chigi: “Best wishes for good work to Donald Trump, 47th President of the United States, by virtue of a clear victory, also extended to the popular vote. The challenges awaiting the United States are many and concern us all: stopping the ongoing wars, combating violations of international humanitarian law with the utmost firmness, opening up to a multipolar vision of the new geo-political balances, aiming for fair rules for the international trade avoiding the protectionist spiral of duties and counter-duties. Italy – if it manages to express vision and courage – will be able to make an important contribution due to the traditional friendship between our peoples and the solid alliance between our two countries, but also due to our historic role within the enlarged and in the European framework”. Not everyone in the Movement thinks this way: “Evidently Trump was able to speak to the Americans more than the Democrats – says Mariolina Castellone, vice president of the Senate – Trump was good at straddling those themes that were successful, he spoke of peace, promising a change of pace , which the citizens want, talked about giving power back to the Americans. Some points of Trump’s politics scare me, for me the United States has always represented multiculturalism, hospitality and that this could change scares me – he added – The anti-scientific, no-vax positions scare me, I hope you think again.”
An overseas defeat for the Green Alliance and the left. “A bad day – says Nicola Fratoianni – with Trump an America comes forward with fewer rights and fewer freedoms, an America against women, minorities and young people. Denialism wins in the face of the climate crisis. Once again, fear, poverty and war lead to the right.” For Angelo Bonelli “the democrats are losing their relationship with the popular classes and the issue of the war in Ukraine and the arms costs faced by the American government also influenced the vote”. The leader of Action Carlo Calenda underlines that “Europe he wants to still exist in the Trump era, he must make an immediate qualitative leap. Trump will try to damage us.” And Matteo Renzi of Italia Viva comments that “Donald clearly won the American elections and will be the 47 president of the United States. There are many reflections that the political world can and must make on this clear response from the polls but the first moral and civil duty is to recognize the result with congratulations to the winner and honor of arms to the defeated Harris. I hope that this is the wake-up moment for Europe.” Riccardo Magi of Più Europa instead speaks of “a disaster for rights, for the rule of law, for minorities, for freedom, for the fight against climate change. But above all it risks being a disaster for Europe”.

### Interview with Political Analyst on the Recent Election Outcome
**Host:** Welcome to our political analysis segment. Today, we have with us Dr. Emily Carter, a political analyst and expert in American electoral dynamics. Thank you for joining us, Dr. Carter.
**Dr. Carter:** Thank you for having me.
**Host:** The recent election results have surprised many, with Donald Trump securing a decisive victory over Kamala Harris. Can you share your insights on this outcome?
**Dr. Carter:** Absolutely. This election, like many others, turned on several key factors. Many voters appeared more receptive to Trump’s messaging, particularly his focus on issues like economic concerns and national security. Harris, while being a historic candidate, struggled to effectively communicate her vision to a broad audience.
**Host:** You mentioned Trump’s messaging. What specific aspects of his campaign do you think resonated with voters?
**Dr. Carter:** Trump has a knack for tapping into the sentiments and fears of the electorate. In this election, he emphasized restoring a sense of stability and security, which many Americans felt was lacking. His critiques of the current administration, particularly concerning international relations, struck a chord with voters who prioritize a strong, independent U.S. stance on the global stage.
**Host:** Conversely, what challenges did Kamala Harris face during her campaign?
**Dr. Carter:** Harris faced significant hurdles. First, being the first woman of color nominated by a major party brought immense scrutiny. There were also critiques of her visibility and effectiveness in articulating a clear platform. Some voters perceived her approach as too cautious, leading to doubts about her leadership ability in contrast to Trump’s assertive style.
**Host:** In reflection of the analysis, how do you think this outcome will affect the Democratic Party moving forward?
**Dr. Carter:** This is a wake-up call for the Democratic Party. They need to reassess their strategies, messaging, and outreach, particularly among working-class and undecided voters. The party must engage more authentically with the issues that matter to people on the ground, rather than relying solely on established narratives.
**Host:** There are concerns about international relations given Trump’s return. What implications could this have, particularly for European countries?
**Dr. Carter:** The implications could be significant. Trump’s often antagonistic rhetoric towards international alliances and institutions may strain relationships, particularly with Europe. His focus on America First could lead to a more isolationist U.S. policy, creating uncertainty for European leaders who are accustomed to a cooperative relationship with the U.S.
**Host:** A lot to unpack there, Dr. Carter. what do you believe is the overall sentiment of the American electorate post-election?
**Dr. Carter:** There’s a palpable mix of anxiety and optimism. For Trump supporters, there’s a sense of validation and hope for change. For Harris’s supporters, there’s disappointment and concern over what this means for the progress made in recent years. Ultimately, the divisions within the electorate remain stark, and healing will take concerted effort on all sides.
**Host:** Thank you, Dr. Carter, for your thoughtful analysis on these pressing issues. It’s clear that the road ahead will be complex.
**Dr. Carter:** Thank you for having me. It’s an important time for our nation.
**Host:** That wraps up our segment for today. Stay tuned for more in-depth discussions on current events!
