Donald Trump’s sweeping victory on Tuesday marked a historic shift in American voting trends, with a majority of Latino men, significant gains among Asian voters and Black men, and an unexpected surge of Gen Z supporters.

The former president added nearly 9 million more votes than in 2016, fueled by these diverse groups, according to Edison Research exit polls.

By contrast, Vice President Kamala Harris struggled to match Joe Biden’s 2020 margins in any county, losing ground with voters traditionally loyal to Democrats. According to GOP strategist Patrick Ruffini, the shift of young and non-white voters to the right is “historically unprecedented in the modern era” since the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Surprisingly, Trump’s support among white voters fell by 3 points from 2016, while Harris gained 8 points among white voters. However, this was countered by Trump’s increased support among minority groups.

Black voters gave him 12% of their support, up from 8% in 2016, with 20% of Black men backing him over Harris. Meanwhile, Trump saw a notable 16-point surge among Latinos, capturing 45% of the Latino vote overall—bolstered by 54% of Latino men.
