Trump Secures 2024 Re-Election with Minority Support

Donald Trump's 2024 presidential victory was significantly aided by a shift in support among Hispanic and Black voters, particularly among men, who have traditionally leaned Democratic. In a historic flip, Starr County, Texas, with over 90% Hispanic population, supported Trump, marking the first Republican win there in over a century. This trend reflects a broader nationwide movement where Trump gained support among working-class voters dissatisfied with Democratic economic policies and immigration stance. Trump's appeal on economic issues and border security resonated with these demographics, contributing to his success in battleground states. Democratic strategists acknowledge the need to better address the concerns of working-class voters of color to regain lost ground.
