In the 2024 elections, Donald Trump saw a rise in support from working-class voters without a college degree, increasing from 50% to 56%. Over 50 million individuals voted for Trump, highlighting their decisive role in his victory. Trump portrayed himself as the champion of the working class and pledged to rebalance the economy in favor of labor, diverging from Wall Street interests. This newfound stance resonated with many voters, as leaders like UAW President Shawn Fain acknowledged the momentum against detrimental trade laws that have historically harmed the American working class.
Decades of neoliberalism have produced communities in despair, disconnected from prosperity and too often ignored by our most powerful institutions.
This change might be disconcerting to some on Wall Street, but it is long overdue.
