Former President Donald Trump 's performance on Tuesday night should not have come as a surprise.

The signs that he remained a formidable opponent were there all along, says Julian Zelizer .

Zelizer: None of the indictments dented Trump ’s support among GOP primary voters.

He built and maintained a small but durable lead over President Joe Biden starting in late 2023 .

If the pandemic hadn’t happened, he likely would have been reelected, however narrowly. A rightward shift smaller than what took place on Tuesday would have made Trump a competitive general election candidate. Now Trump will get his second term. But unlike in 2016 , it is hardly a shocking upset, even if it is a major political comeback..
