Trump expands voter coalition with gains among key demographic groups in 2024 election

Donald Trump won the presidency by maintaining his core voter base and gaining support from some groups traditionally aligned with Democrats, according to the AP VoteCast survey of over 120,000 voters. Trump's support among Black voters increased, particularly among younger men, while he also gained a small share of Hispanic voters. In contrast, Vice President Kamala Harris did not make significant gains among these groups. Trump's support among women and men improved slightly, though Harris still won a majority of women voters. Overall, demographic shifts were modest compared to the 2020 election, with white voters showing consistent support for Trump.
