Have Americans turned their backs on Democrat elitism?

"The division in this country is not political. It is a class division that separates the 20% of over-accredited academic elites from the 70-80% of Americans who are middle and working class.

Trump has unified those people around a common-sense, centrist agenda, people who feel that things are not heading in the right direction.

The base of the Democrats is the elites. The elites are very polarized, and of course, Wall Street. For three consecutive election cycles, they chose Democrats over Donald Trump because they don’t like the fact that his entire economic agenda is designed to put money in the pockets of working and middle-class Americans, to bring the American dream back to the average person who has been forgotten.

What President Trump did was realize that the entire middle and working class of this country had been abandoned, and he turned the Republican Party into the party of the working class."

In recent years, the Democratic Party has experienced a decline in support from various segments of its traditional electorate. According to an article from Expansión, during the 2024 elections, states from the "blue wall" such as Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, historically Democratic strongholds, voted predominantly for the Republican Party, contributing to Donald Trump's return to the White House.

Additionally, a Gallup survey published in 2024 revealed that the Democrats' advantage among Hispanic and Black voters significantly decreased during Biden's term. Support from Hispanics for the Democratic Party fell from 28% in 2020 to 12% in 2023, while among Black voters, it dropped from 66% to 47% over the same period. This shift is especially concerning as these communities were crucial in Biden's 2020 election win.

Furthermore, Listín Diario highlighted a disconnect between the Democratic Party and its electoral base, evidenced by changes in voting trends in key urban and suburban areas. For example, in cities like Detroit and Philadelphia, the Republican vote increased compared to previous elections, reflecting dissatisfaction with the Democratic administration's handling of economic and security issues.

These data suggest that the Democratic Party faces challenges in maintaining support from its traditional electorate, especially among the working class, Hispanics, and Blacks, as well as in key urban areas. The loss of these voters could have significant implications in future elections.
