"The Hispanic vote moved toward Trump Exit polls suggest that 45pc of Hispanics voted for Trump this time, a full 10pc more than 2020. The reasons why will be teased out in the days to come, but one of Harris's strong points - abortion - may not have been as persuasive to a strong Catholic ethos."
"The single biggest demographic, white women, appear to have voted for Trump in a slight majority (52pc). This compared to just 7pc of black women voting for the Republican and 37pc of Latino women. While much had been made of a 'men v women' presidential race, it appears that white women, in particular, voted for him in a majority."
"The three biggest issues, according to all polls and exit polls, were 'democracy', the economy and abortion. While pundits have hailed the US economy as being more robust than other developed nations, this may not have translated to enough ordinary voters, who pay record prices for groceries."
"Trump was very good at connecting emotionally with unfashionable white working class voters. Some Democrats, he implied, are not. As an example, President Biden's forgiveness of college student debt, while popular among many families, may not resonate with this demographic."
