In a dramatic turn of events, former Ambassador of India to the United States, Taranjit Singh Sandhu, labeled Donald Trump's projected electoral victory as a 'historic comeback'. This follows assassination attempts and major political shifts, underscoring Trump's extraordinary journey from past presidency loss to a startling race reentry.

Sandhu highlighted the campaign's myriad twists, including attempts on Trump's life, evolving political landscapes, and pivotal involvement by Vice President Kamala Harris. He likened Trump to an archetypal 'comeback kid', as the Republican nominee capitalized on America's fondness for narrative turns, projecting momentum in key states.

Speaking to ANI, Sandhu remarked on the U.S. political process and the critical nature of the electoral college. He identified seven states as pivotal, indicating a pronounced favorability toward Trump's reelection. Trump's triumph is projected to turn key battlegrounds like Pennsylvania and Georgia, recalling Grover Cleveland's similar non-consecutive terms over 100 years ago.

In a Florida address, Trump praised supporters for backing what he called 'the greatest political movement ever'. He credited divine intervention for his survival from an assassination attempt and pledged to restore American greatness, invoking a mission to heal and fix national issues, with victory placements him beyond 270 required electoral votes.

The Republican strength in the Senate and Democrat struggles were emphasized by media outlets like Fox News and CNN, reflecting a shifting power landscape. Trump's narrative of divine favor and determined resolve primes him for a potential return to the White House, marking a rare historical feat.
