As well as winning over Hispanic voters, Trump improved his position in some surprising corners.

Summary

“It’s simple, really. We liked the way things were four years ago,” said Samuel Negron, a Pennsylvania state constable and member of the large Puerto Rican community in the city of Allentown.

Donald Trump achieved a decisive victory over Kamala Harris, capturing key demographics that traditionally supported Democrats. He gained substantial support from white working-class voters, saw a 14-point increase among Latino voters, and performed better than expected with younger voters, especially men.

Economic concerns, particularly inflation, were central to Trump’s appeal, with voters across states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin favoring his promises of lower prices and stricter immigration policies.

Harris struggled to retain support in diverse and working-class areas, as voters blamed Democrats for economic hardships.

        Calm your tentacles your gonna ink yourself. Its real simple im trying to explain the low IQ thought process. Puerto Rico is an island, they speak Spanish. If you were born there it’s your homeland. Maybe you grow up and think the opportunity is less than ideal. Sometimes in jokes people say exaggerations and use imagery to help convey a message or punchline. Then you travel to the USA mainland to make a better life for your family.
        Congratulations you agree have migrated and agree with people who don’t have your best interest at heart.
