5 keys to a Trump victory

From the ground game to Nikki Haley voters, there are several variables that could pave former President Donald Trump's return to the White House next week.

Donald Trump won more than 74 million votes in 2020 — more than any Republican presidential candidate in history, but not enough to win the popular vote or the Electoral College.

The loss remains an obsession for the former president and many of his supporters, whose refusal to accept defeat led to a riot at the Capitol and drove political discourse for four years.

Only recently has Trump acknowledged that he lost to President Joe Biden “by a whisker,” though he quickly returned to repeating claims of voter fraud that have been debunked at every turn.

Now, rather than the rematch he had sought with Biden, who dropped his bid for a second term in July after a disastrous debate performance raised concerns about his health, Trump has a battle with Vice President Kamala Harris.

If the race is as close as polls suggest, the country may not know the results on election night. Here are five keys to a Trump win.
