Trump shows significant gains in 2024 election performance, surprising analysts
CNN's Harry Enten reported that Donald Trump has significantly improved his performance in the 2024 election compared to 2020. Trump received 50.7% of the popular vote, gaining ground in 49 states and the District of Columbia. Enten highlighted Trump's increased support among traditionally Democratic demographics, including young voters and Black voters. This marks the best performance for a Republican among these groups in decades. Trump also saw a notable improvement with rural voters, winning by a 27-point margin, which is a double-digit increase from 2020. This election shows a shift in Trump's appeal beyond his previous base.
