The Trump coalition was a broad spectrum of voters that Trump united under his banner of Make America Great Again. This coalition helped him win 2016 and 2024, and held mostly intact in the 2020 loss[1]. Coming from the 2016 election, it helped Trump ride to victory by flipping several Midwestern states with large white working class populations, trading off white college educated suburbs such as Chester County. This trend was continued in 2020, allowing Joe Biden to rebuild the Blue wall and flip Georgia and Arizona out. Conversely, Trump had been able to make inroads with minorities, causing states such as Florida and California with large Hispanic populations to buck the national trend and shift right[2]. In his 3rd GOP run, Trump had been able to continue these trends, as well as making a heavy play for young men[3]. Coupling these trends between young men, minorities and Catholics, allowed Trump to win in a landslide[4].
