For DaSean Gallishaw, a consultant in Fairfax, Virginia, a vote for Trump was rooted in what he saw as Democrats' rhetoric not matching their actions. 'It’s been a very long time since the Democrats ever really kept their promises to what they’re going to do for the minority communities,' he said.
Trump gained a larger share of Black and Latino voters than he did in 2020, particularly among men under age 45. Even Kamala Harris winning majorities of these voters wasn't enough to secure her the presidency.
'I am a blue-collar worker,' Leija said. 'So, tax breaks for small businesses are ideal for what I do.' This highlights how economic policies significantly influenced his support for Trump's candidacy.
The election results make it clear that Trump, with his economic outreach, resonated with younger minority voters, fundamentally altering the traditional Democratic support base within these demographics.
