Trump gains strong support from Black and Latino men in 2024 election
In the 2024 U.S. election, Donald Trump gained significant support from Black and Latino men, marking a notable shift from previous elections. His appeal among these groups increased, with Black male support doubling and Latino male support rising by 18 points compared to 2020. Trump's messaging resonated with voters feeling economic and social insecurity. Many expressed frustration with the Democratic Party's perceived disconnect and patronizing approach, leading some to feel that their concerns were overlooked. Democratic candidate Kamala Harris attempted to address these issues late in her campaign with targeted policies, but it appears to have been too little, too late. The changing dynamics among male voters highlight a growing challenge for Democrats in maintaining support from these communities.
