President-elect Donald Trump made stunning gains with black men, Hispanic voters, and younger Americans in the 2024 presidential election, challenging long-held political assumptions.

One person saw it coming more than a year ago. Patrick Ruffini, founding partner of Echelon Insights, published "Party of the People: Inside the Multiracial Populist Coalition Remaking the GOP" in November 2023. He spoke with The Daily Signal when the book published last year.
