Trump wins popular vote by gaining support from key demographics in recent election
Donald Trump appears to have won the popular vote in the recent election, a first for a Republican in two decades. He gained support from key demographics, including Black and Latino voters, by targeting their concerns without pandering. Trump's campaign saw significant gains in urban, suburban, and rural areas. He flipped traditionally Democratic regions, such as Starr County, Texas, and Dearborn, Michigan, while Kamala Harris underperformed compared to Joe Biden in 2020, particularly among Black voters and young people. Following the election, Harris conceded to Trump, and Democrats are now analyzing their losses. Some blame President Biden's handling of inflation and his prolonged candidacy for Harris's struggles, while Republicans credit Trump's outreach and messaging strategy for their success.
