“President-elect Trump’s victory was driven by gains among young voters that the campaign targeted through a media blitz in the final months leading up to the general election,” Axios reports.

“It’s another lesson in how hyper-targeted communications — identifying what resonates with these audiences, meeting them where they are and engaging with voices they trust — should be a key part of the comms playbook.”

“While Trump and Vice President Harris leveraged a mix of traditional and new media channels to reach young, minority voters, the scale of Trump’s outreach was bigger and broader.”

“Eight years ago, conservative Christians wondered if Donald Trump, who had just been elected president, would truly be their champion. They were weary, and angry, after wandering in the wilderness of the Obama years when liberal values seemed ascendant and they felt powerless,” the New York Times reports.

“Now, as Mr. Trump’s sweeping re-election victory brings them to new heights of power, they believe his return is more than an electoral mandate: they believe it is a divine one.”

“President-elect Trump plans fast action on a business-friendly agenda of tax cuts, deregulation and expanded energy production,” Axios reports.

“Trump plans to load his White House and Cabinet with business- and tech-friendly executives, and stretch the powers of the presidency to force quick changes.”

“Trump advisers believe in retrospect that they wasted early opportunities in his first term, because they were unfamiliar with maximizing government power and restrained by a divided staff. There are several reasons to expect a very different outcome this time.”

Washington Post: For Trump and Republicans in Congress, “everything is in play” on tax cuts.

Ron Filipkowski collected every campaign promise Donald Trump made — and has them on video.

“Even before Donald Trump was re-elected, his best-known backer, Elon Musk, had come to him with a request for his presidential transition,” the New York Times reports.

“He wanted Mr. Trump to hire some employees from Mr. Musk’s rocket company, SpaceX, as top government officials — including at the Defense Department.”

“That request, which would seed SpaceX employees into an agency that is one of its biggest customers, is a sign of the benefits that Mr. Musk may reap after investing more than $100 million in Mr. Trump’s campaign, pushing out a near-constant stream of pro-Trump material on his social media platform, X, and making public appearances on the candidate’s behalf across the hard-fought state of Pennsylvania.”

“After helping engineer Donald Trump’s improbable and sweeping victory in the presidential race, Susie Wiles, the president-elect’s unassuming co-campaign chief, is seen as the frontrunner to become his White House chief of staff,” NBC News reports.

Electoral-Vote.com: “The dominant story of the election thus far is the turnout. Donald Trump collected 62 million votes in 2016, grew that to 74 million in 2020, and will check in at a bit less than 74 million this year. In other words, to the extent that he won new voters over this year, they were offset by voters who jumped ship. He really does have a pretty hard ceiling.”

“On the other hand, Hillary Clinton collected 66 million votes in 2016, Joe Biden got 81 million in 2020, and this year, Kamala Harris is going to end up with about 68 million.”

“‘Where did all those Biden voters go?’ is a question that will haunt Democratic operatives, not to mention political commentators, for months or years.”
