The Election Explained In Abbreviated Form

 A friend writes on Facebook:

The below chart tells you all you need to know about demographics. If you are a white male, you most likely voted Republican. If you weren’t, you most likely didn’t. Further, polls suggested that the economy, affordability, and the “state of democracy” were the issues of greatest concern for voters.

In his past elections. President Trump was laser-focused on delivering a better economy for the “forgotten man,” and was able to draw huge swaths of black male and Hispanic voters away from Democrats and into the Republican to camp. Even the youth vote swung to Republicans in 2024.

Bottom line here is that the $4+ cost of gas, and the Iran War tied to it, both caused most demographic groups to back off Republicans and forced President Trump to take some of his focus off bread and butter issues. Voters made Republicans pay a steep price for that.
