Veteran journalist Dele Momodu has praised Americans for holding a “peaceful, simple, and straightforward” election, highlighting the resilience of the democratic process. Reflecting on the tight race, Momodu noted that while both candidates fought hard, former President Donald Trump appears poised for a remarkable comeback.
He pointed out that the economy was the key factor influencing voter decisions, with many Americans choosing to embrace Trump, despite his flaws, due to widespread discontent with the establishment.
Momodu also expressed confidence that Vice President Kamala Harris would soon follow tradition by conceding defeat and congratulating Trump. He acknowledged Harris’ strong campaign, noting that she led an impressive coalition in just 107 days.
In closing, Momodu emphasized that the true winner is America itself, for demonstrating the strength of its democracy amidst the challenges of a contentious election.
