Political Coalition Evolution in America

The political landscape in America is undergoing a significant transformation with the evolution of political coalitions. Traditionally, the Republican Party included factions focused on budget deficit, national security, and business regulation. However, as demographics and economic patterns change, these factions are shifting within the party. While some groups like the business community have been sidelined, Donald Trump has attracted voters like union members and Hispanics away from the Democratic coalition, causing a reconfiguration of political alliances.
