Interesting that white women also moved more toward Trump in this election. Speculation is that it was economic concerns (perhaps together with the tranny issue), not identity politics that moved the needle. Hard to quantify at this point but exit polls consistently showed the economy as being the #1 issue across the board.
It surprises me that blacks are still very rusted on to the Democratic party when most of them - except the black liberal elites - have been so thoroughly betrayed by them. I wonder what it will take for them to shift - although clearly that trend has started.
The shift has been significant although not seismic - yet. Somewhere I read that it is the younger black men who have moved more to Trump. That suggests a gradual trend in the future for the black vote to move away from the Dems - as long as the Reps continue to focus on improving economics for the working class and the middle class.
I’m not a big fan of breaking out the race/gender of support, it only serves to divide people and create stereotypes. A better breakdown is financial like above but imho, cringe vs based is the real answer
How bout those white women and Hispanic males? Thought black men might be higher based on polling numbers but same as last race for Trump. Black men and women are loyal to the Democrat party for some reason.
My wife who is a die in the blue Chicago machine Democrat today echoes the sentiment shared today on the View.

White men and Hispanic men says it’s about inflation/economy followed by immigration.
Which is a fact based approach versus an emotional based assessment?
