Deep dives
Trump's Historic Political Movement
The recent election results highlight the unprecedented scale of Trump’s political movement, being hailed as possibly the greatest in American history. Trump’s sweeping victory has surprised many, particularly given earlier expectations of a contested election marked by close vote counts. This time, he achieved considerable gains across various voter demographics, including young men and communities of color—an outcome resulting from a campaign strategy focused on themes of mass deportation and economic grievances. The political landscape has evidently shifted, with Trump now seen as an entrenched political figure rather than merely a disruptive candidate.
