History

Historical Context

The 2016 presidential election, the 58th quadrennial contest, gave businessman Donald Trump 304 electoral votes despite losing the popular vote and placed Republicans in the White House and Congress for the first time since 2004. That upset frames his October 30, 2026 Daytona Beach rally in Iowa and Florida as he pushes the populist agenda ahead of the 2026 midterms.
