How Trump was voted for by Latinos while being anti-immigrant and the women who didn’t support Kamala Harris

The big "gracias" Trump owes Latino voters and the women who didn't do all the work for Harris

Newsroom November 7 12:13

 

The 2024 presidential election may be over – “it’s a wrap” as Americans themselves say – but it’s a given that for the next several months (at least until Donald Trump this coming January) there will be much discussion about how this time too the resourceful – now demonstrably duplicitous – “Donny” has managed to impose himself.

In modern science – that of data analysis the numbers still don’t tell the whole truth – but traditionally they never lie either. Trump in his 3rd nomination set significant records, one of them being that he even broke the “curse” of the total – popular – pan-American vote as more than 4 million American citizens chose him for the next four years.

This of course is one of the least meaningful and interesting numbers in this election as the now 45th and 47th President of the United States has openly and repeatedly stated that in the end all that matters is the result and that is again on his side.

The absolute numbers behind Trump’s victory would have been meaningless if the battle had been decided in the thread and that’s simply because all the focus would have been on one, two or all seven states in which the winner would have been decided.

Today it is these absolute numbers though that can potentially give us a different perspective on things. Where did, say, the next President win and lose compared to 2020 when he was defeated by Joe Biden? Did his recent comments from his campaign in New York about Latinos cost him? Did women vote for him or not?

Trump needs to say a big “gracias” to Hispanics

Hispanic citizens-voters in the US may not be the largest community – they are the blacks but they voted en masse in Tuesday’s (05/11) election and in fact appear to have played a significant role in several states – not all of them swing states.

Compared to 2020, when Donald Trump was defeated by Joe Biden – Latino voters massively backed the next President of the country. Specifically, Hispanic Americans in 2020 had given Trump a 32% support rating while now 45% of them have chosen him to lead the country for the next four years.

Indeed, in this category of citizens, Trump may be beaten by Kamala Harris who received 53% of those who voted overall but Trump’s significant boost in key counties and states “clipped” large differences in Pennsylvania and Midwestern states and gave him a significant lead in the US as a whole.

Women supported but not sweepingly for Harris

Yet another Trump victory, or rather a defeat for Kamala Harris that amounts to a double victory for the 47th president in just a few months is the support that was ultimately not sweeping on the part of women for the vice president.

54% of the women of the US electorate who went to the polls supported Harris and her arguments in favor of women’s rights and especially against the Republican effort to push through a new federal law that would take away women’s right to self-governance, making abortion illegal from one month onwards.

One would expect that Harris’s numbers would be many times higher especially in this particular segment of the population than Trump’s.

And yet, 44% of women who voted overall by physical presence or the absentee method supported him. The 10-point difference is the same though reversed with men supporting Trump and Harris.

Donald Trump managed to win without losing, as he essentially nullified one of Harris and the Democrats’ strongest campaign weapons. The tragic irony is that it was with this very narrative that three months ago Harris rallied Democrats around her, closed the gap that separated Trump and Biden in the polls, and in the final stretch overtook him. The issue here is not why women didn’t vote for Kamala Harris but why they didn’t do so in a massive way.

Ultimately the result vindicated the Trump way which has a way of even when it loses, the opponent doesn’t even manage to win. Given that the now twice-elected President of the country has earned the bragging right that in the two electoral victories he has recorded he has done it by two completely different but at the same time quite similar methods.
