Economic Concerns Propel Trump to 2024 Victory
TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump won the 2024 U.S. presidential election by expanding his support among Latino and African American men, and by maintaining strong backing from white working-class voters. His campaign's strategic decisions, such as focusing on negative advertising and modulating his stance on abortion, paid off. Kamala Harris, on the other hand, struggled with the negative perception of Biden's presidency, failed to significantly increase her support among women, and did not effectively counter Trump's appeal. The election results may prompt a period of introspection for the Democratic Party.
