How did Trump expand his voter base to achieve victory?: Trump expanded his coalition by winning a significant portion of Latino men, a large segment of young men, and men across all age groups. This offset Harris's advantage among women.
What were the key economic factors contributing to Trump's win?: Trump's victory was driven by economic anxieties among voters, despite improvements in key economic indicators. The perception that the Biden administration was responsible for economic hardship, coupled with voter trust in Trump on key issues, proved decisive.
What challenges does the Democratic Party face after the 2024 election?: The Democratic Party needs to examine why they're losing working-class voters to Republicans, and regain their support to avoid becoming a party of elites.
What role did the gender gap play in determining the outcome of the election?: While women constituted a larger share of the electorate than in 2020, Harris's failure to win a sufficiently large percentage of white women without college degrees prevented her from winning the election.
How did the demographic composition of the electorate impact the election results?: A significant increase in the proportion of white voters (from 67% to 71%) in the electorate contributed to Trump's win, even though the percentage of white people in the overall population is declining.
