Party of the People
Inside the Multiracial Populist Coalition Remaking the GOP
Book • 2023
In 'Party of the People,' Patrick Ruffini provides a thorough and nuanced analysis of the demographic and cultural trends reshaping the Republican and Democratic coalitions.
The book uses robust data and clear analysis to debunk the narrative that the Republican party is solely a party of white, rural voters.
Instead, Ruffini argues that the GOP is increasingly a party of non-college-educated voters, and its future lies in appealing to the multiracial mainstream middle class.
The book explores how Donald Trump's presidency and subsequent elections have influenced these trends, highlighting the significant gains made among nonwhite voters and the implications for future elections.
