In the recent presidential election, former President Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris, but he faced significant losses among LGBTQ voters, who overwhelmingly supported Harris with 86% of their votes, a notable increase from the 64% Biden received in 2020. Trump's overall support among LGBTQ voters plummeted to just 12%, reflecting a 15-point decline since the last election. His campaign strategy included anti-transgender messaging, which likely alienated this voter bloc further. Additionally, LGBTQ voters expressed a strong preference for Democratic candidates, with 56% identifying as Democrats compared to just 5% as Republicans. The 2024 election also marked a record high of 8% of the electorate identifying as LGBTQ, showing an increasing political engagement within this community. The exit polls reveal a stark contrast in attitudes toward Harris and Trump, with many LGBTQ individuals feeling optimistic about a Harris presidency, while fearing a Trump win.
