(Worthy News) – President-Elect Donald Trump achieved a historic victory on Tuesday night, overcoming legal battles, Big Tech opposition, and persistent criticism from legacy media, bolstered by a strong turnout from Black, Hispanic, and young voters—traditionally strong Democratic voting blocs.
Political analysts see these voting trends as a major realignment, with Trump drawing support from constituencies that have long been rooted in the Democratic Party.
While Black and Latino voters haven’t abandoned the Democrats, they supported Trump in greater numbers this year. These groups make up roughly a tenth of the electorate.
In 2020, Biden won 90% of Black voters, but this has dropped to around 80%, largely due to shifts among Black men, with Trump doubling his share in some swing states.
Among Latino men, a narrow 51% supported Harris, compared to 46% for Trump, down from the 63% of Latino voters who supported Biden four years ago.
The youth vote, traditionally a stronghold for the left, delivered disappointing results for Democrats in this election. Data shows Kamala Harris leading Trump by only 52-46 within this demographic—a slim six-point advantage compared to Biden’s 25-point lead in 2020 and Hillary Clinton’s 18-point lead in 2016.
While votes are still being counted, this shift could soon be called the ‘D-Exit,’ the American equivalent of Britain’s Brexit from the European Union. Tuesday night’s victory revealed a significant realignment, with Trump dramatically narrowing Democratic margins as large segments of traditionally Democratic voting blocs cast their ballots for the President-elect.
Once a pivotal battleground that left the 2000 presidential election in suspense until the Supreme Court’s decision on ballot ‘hanging chads’, Florida has now been firmly claimed by Trump and the Republican Party, winning by a decisive 15-point margin and effectively taking the Sunshine State off the battleground map.
Even in Democratic strongholds, Trump made significant inroads into states that held traditionally wide margins. In New York, he managed to cut the margin of victory in half this election, and in Illinois he reduced the Democrat margin of victory by an astounding two-thirds this voting cycle.
Mark Penn, the political strategist behind the Clinton dynasty, offered a concise take on the ‘D-Exit’ early Wednesday morning in a post on X.
“The Trump edge is turning into a Trump trifecta. It looks like despite a good effort in a short period of time, Harris is falling short especially with young people and turnout in core urban areas. Black and especially Latino voters showed some shifts,” Penn stated.
“Trump has brought home with working class and created a new coalition of governing but the country remains divided and whoever wins must remember it’s time to genuinely reach out to the many moderate voters looking for the right leadership,” Penn concluded.
Trump succeeded by reaching out to constituencies often ignored by Republicans and taken for granted by Democrats, welcoming disillusioned Democrats and independent voices like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Elon Musk, and Tulsi Gabbard to his platform.
Although the final election results are still being counted, early trends suggest that the ‘D-Exit’ may represent a once-in-a-lifetime political shift—one that pollsters and analysts will study for years to come.
