Summary
Donald Trump’s 2024 victory was fueled by nationwide rightward shifts, with 85.2% of counties voting for him and the median vote margin moving 3.2 points right compared to 2020.
Kamala Harris underperformed Joe Biden across key demographics, including Black and Asian American communities, while Trump made notable gains among Latino voters, especially Hispanic men.
Shifts were also evident in counties with high school graduates, advanced-degree holders, and high costs of living.
Experts attribute these changes to lower Democratic turnout and voter dissatisfaction with the economy.
Goes to show that education and critical thinking skills don’t mix.
Yeah or focusing on “STEM” as if it’s the only thing that matters. People think that because they can solve technical problems that they can also solve society’s problems without any further education on the matters. The best example of this is Elon Musk.
Definitely don’t think too much about why it is, exactly, that people are being steered away from degrees that actually do teach critical thought.
I also will not think about the reason behind why exactly politicians are dismantling public education as quickly as they can.
White and latino men were the largest demographic shifts of who sat out the election
Every other stat is almost a non factor to these two data points.
If every person who voted for Biden in 2020 did the same for Harris in 2024 then she would have won in a landlslide
But they lost 8-10% of those specific demographics, probably because of the masculinity issues of American men
