The electorate's swing towards Donald Trump and the GOP may well have been an immediate result of lingering unhappiness with post-pandemic inflation and public disinterest in the Biden administration's efforts to restructure the United States economy.
The consequences of this pivot are clearly on display today as Democrats have evidently lost ground among non-college-educated voters and initial exit poll data show Trump has won an astounding 45% of Latino voters.
Since the late-1960s, the Democratic Party has been realigned around appeals to white-collar, highly-educated, often more affluent Americans who tend to live in metropolitan regions of the U.S.
This internal party transformation that started decades ago may have less to do with Trump and more about the Democratic Party's shift away from its traditional working-class roots.
