Providence: Trump's Win in '24 Rather Than '20 Was for the Best, Like Reagan's in '80 Instead of '76

By Randy DeSoto November 8, 2024 at 5:20pm

People are already recognizing the wisdom of God in allowing Donald Trump to be re-elected in 2024 rather than 2020.

In some ways, it is reminiscent of then-former California Gov. Ronald Reagan, who just missed winning the Republican nomination to be president over incumbent President Gerald Ford by a hair in 1976, but went on to become the nominee in 1980, when he ushered in a landslide for the GOP.

This election cycle, not only did Trump exceed his support in the Electoral College vote and raw vote total (winning a majority) from his 2016 triumph, but also made significant gains in pretty much all demographic groups: men, women, whites, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, urban, rural and young and old alike.
