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.

    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.
