Nicholas Stephanopoulos argues that the parties' positions on electoral issues have become obsolete as they no longer align with how voters currently behave, prompting the need for changes in traditional party strategies.
The traditional class division in American politics, with poorer voters favoring Democrats and richer voters favoring Republicans, no longer holds true. Wealthier voters now tend to lean towards the Democratic Party, marking a significant shift in the electorate's preferences.
Data presented by Stephanopoulos shows how Donald Trump's candidacy has further polarized the electorate, attracting more non-college educated voters to the Republican Party while driving away well-educated suburban voters from the GOP.
The demographic landscape of American politics is evolving, with cities becoming less Democratic, exurban and rural areas shifting towards the Republican Party, and suburbs transitioning from red to a more purple hue.
