How did Donald Trump build an unprecedented coalition to win the 2024 presidential election?: Trump's victory was fueled by a multiracial coalition, including white working-class men, Black voters, and Latino voters, defying traditional voting patterns.
How did the criminal investigations and indictments against Trump impact his political standing?: The criminal investigations and indictments against Trump in 2023 unexpectedly boosted his support among Republicans, who saw it as the "weaponization" of the legal system against him.
What key factors contributed to Trump's success in appealing to voters, beyond traditional Republican demographics?: His campaign resonated with voters who felt unseen and unheard, emphasizing their concerns and promising solutions to their economic anxieties. This tapped into a broader sense of anger and discontent with the political establishment.
How did the larger political climate and societal divisions influence the outcome of the 2024 presidential election?: The polarization of American politics and the deep divide between those with and without four-year degrees significantly impacted the election, with Trump appealing to the latter group by understanding their concerns and anger.
What was the most important issue for voters, and how did the candidates' approaches to this issue influence the election?: While the economy was the most important issue for voters, with many expressing dissatisfaction with the current state, Trump's strongman leadership style and promise of change proved more appealing than Harris's focus on democracy.
