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.
People are tired of corporate stooge politicians. Trump only cares about himself even more than he cares about his donors. This makes him look unique and populist. Folks like Kamala are straightforward and honest about advocating for policies their corporate and dark money pac contributors support
Edit: Trump actually has them best on telling the quite part out loud
The problem I have is that Trump’s entire agenda to make Americans poorer and corporations richer is right out there in the open. He’s going to dismantle the federal agencies, make the states do it themselves, or make them into corporate enterprise. At the same time, he’s increasing the costs of imports from China. There’s no way this ends well for Americans’ wallets.
Could you tell me one or two of these policies Harris’ contributors support?
