Trump secures decisive victory in 2024 election with expanded voter coalition
Former President Donald Trump won the 2024 election, achieving a significant victory in the Electoral College and likely the popular vote. His coalition expanded, particularly among white voters and Latino men, marking a shift in demographics compared to previous elections. Voter sentiment was largely negative towards the economy, despite improvements. Trump gained support from working-class voters, while Vice President Kamala Harris struggled to maintain the Democratic base, particularly among women and younger voters. Democratic turnout was notably lower than in 2020, with Harris potentially receiving about 10 million fewer votes. This decline occurred in traditionally blue states, while Trump saw increased support across various demographics, indicating a shift in voter alignment.
