Democrats still cannot believe how poorly they performed in the 2024 election.
They thought they were the ‘broad coalition’ party.
And Democrats are frantically throwing a fit after Donald Trump hit Kamala Harris with this humiliating Election Day snub.
Democrats’ base collapses
Democrats constantly push the narrative that they are the ‘broad coalition’ party.
They believed that their traditionally strong support from black, Hispanic, female, and non-religious voters would help them win in every election that takes place.
But November 5 marked the date that many within these demographics felt that the Democrat Party no longer represented them.
President-elect Donald Trump saw strong gains across the board in exit polling data compared to the results of the 2020 election.
In 2020, Trump earned just 325 of Hispanic voters compared to President Joe Biden’s 65%.
That number jumped 13 points to 45% compared to Vice President Kamala Harris’ 53%.
Trump successfully cut Democrats’ lead with young voters by more than half, earning a 13 point gain with the demographic.
But there was one group of voters that Kamala lost outright, even to the Green Party’s Jill Stein, that nobody saw coming – Muslim voters.
Kamala comes in last place with Muslim voters
One of the biggest issues for Vice President Kamala Harris on the campaign trail was her inability to establish a position related to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Her wavering stances and attempts to play both sides of the issues caused serious problems for her.
Democrat events, particularly Harris rallies, were plagued by pro-terror protests demanding that Kamala Harris side with Hamas against Israel.
Her strategy was to try and not tie herself too closely to President Joe Biden, who stood firmly with Israel, while trying to tread a thin line by throwing occasional talking points to indicate that she did not fully back Israel’s cause.
Many political experts believe this was the root cause of her deciding not to select Pennsylvania Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish, as her running mate.
As a result of her insecurity on Israel, roughly 80% of Muslims rejected Kamala Harris entirely on Election Day, according to exit polls.
The pre-election polling data averaged an estimated 41% support from Muslim voters, a number that ultimately dropped to just barely over 20% on Election Day.
That is a damning collapse of support from 2020, where President Joe Biden reeled in 69% of Muslims.
According to the New York Post, “Green Party candidate Jill Stein elbowed Harris out of first place, winning 53% of Muslim voters, and President-elect Donald Trump even trumped Harris in the demo with 21.4% of those votes.”
That is a more than 4-point jump for the Republican candidate compared to the 2020 election when Trump earned the votes of 17% of Muslims.
“Stein and Trump both outperformed pre-election polling, which indicated they’d earn 42% and 10% support, respectively,” continued the New York Post report.
“The defeated Democrat – who reportedly made different, contradictory campaign pitches to Jewish and Arab American voters over Gaza – fared even worse in Michigan, where Muslims form a crucial voting bloc,” the Post added. “A slim 14.3% of Muslims there said she was their pick versus 59.1% for Stein and 22.4% for Trump.”
The collapse of support from Muslim voters is just part of the bigger picture that Democrats are losing support from key demographics they previously relied on for electoral success.
The question is whether or not Democrats will try to tap into more moderate, pro-Israel voters or risk alienating Jewish and suburban voters to try and court the Muslim voting demographic once more.
