Summary
Donald Trump’s strong performance in Nevada, a historically Democratic-leaning swing state, highlights a shift among working-class and minority voters, particularly Latinos, who traditionally supported Democrats.
Many Nevadans, facing high unemployment, stagnant wages, and rising costs, prioritized economic concerns over social issues. Exit polls showed that Trump gained support among white, Asian, and Latino voters, especially those without college degrees.
Disillusioned by Democratic stances on issues like immigration and frustrated by economic hardship, some voters felt Trump’s economic promises aligned more with their needs, marking a broader national realignment.
Even if voters may not expect any better from Trump, Gaitan said, “they feel they can trust him on the economy.”
So…they’re stupid?
