In his victory speech, Donald Trump declared a historic realignment in American politics, a claim gaining traction among Republican thinkers, but met with skepticism from others.
The changes in party coalitions, marked since the 1970s, show a movement of some white working-class voters to the Republican Party, originally known as Reagan Democrats.
Recent data shows Trump's appeal extending beyond traditional demographics, as he earned 43% of the Hispanic vote in 2024, indicating a broader Republican working-class base.
While the Republicans attract some minority voters, Democrats have also strengthened their support among college-educated individuals, evidenced by Kamala Harris winning these voters in 2024.
