After the Republican victory in 2024, the Democratic Party needs to confront uncomfortable realities rather than indulge in retrospectives. Despite efforts to mobilize the base, key voter constituencies—in particular, young, Black, and Latino voters—showed increased support for Trump compared to previous elections. For instance, Trump's support among Black voters doubled, and Latino support rose significantly. These changes highlight the need for the Democratic Party to rethink strategies to engage and retain these crucial demographics effectively as they prepare for future elections.
Mobilizing the Democratic base isn't enough to stop Trump; key constituencies turned out but many improved support for him, indicating shifting allegiances.
Trump's performance among Black, Latino, and under-30 voters improved significantly. This trend indicates challenges for Democrats who rely solely on base mobilization.
