Recent reporting and commentary claim substantial swings by Black, Asian, and Hispanic voters toward Donald Trump between 2020 and 2024 (e.g., black support nearly doubled; Hispanic support rose from ~36% to ~48%). If these shifts reflect durable alignment driven by blue‑collar concerns and cultural messaging rather than only personality, they could reconfigure competitive coalitions in many battlegrounds. — A durable minority drift toward the GOP would reshape campaign strategy, turnout math, and policy incentives across federal and state politics.
