Trump’s Surprising Victory: A Shift in Latino Support and Working-Class Coalition
Donald Trump clinched a decisive victory in the elections, reversing trends as he gained significant support among Latino voters and younger Americans. Exit polls indicated a 14-point increase in Latino backing compared to 2020, especially in battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Voters cited economic issues, particularly inflation, and alignment on social values as key factors influencing their shift toward Trump. Despite his loss in urban areas, Trump’s appeal among diverse demographics reshaped the electorate, posing challenges for Kamala Harris’s campaign and signaling a transformation in traditional voting patterns.
