See the Voting Groups That Swung to the Right in the 2024 Vote
Donald J. Trump’s swift victory was driven by red shifts across the country, with gains among seemingly every possible grouping of Americans.
Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state, shifted red in 2016, blue in 2020 and back to red in 2024.
Other swing states
The four other swing states that have been called so far also moved to the right, sealing Mr. Trump’s second presidential win. In Georgia, Mr. Trump reversed two consecutive blue shifts.
Cities and suburbs
While Mr. Trump lost to Kamala Harris in many swing state cities and suburbs, he did so by a smaller margin than he lost to now-President Biden in 2020. In three examples shown below, two blue shifts in 2016 and 2020 were followed by a red shift in 2024.
Rural-urban divide
Around the country, in counties where nearly all votes are in, the trend was similar. Support for Mr. Trump continued to increase in rural counties, while Ms. Harris lost ground in cities and suburbs.
Race and ethnicity
Mr. Trump made significant inroads with Latino voters in 2020. In this election, he continued to grow his margins in counties with large populations of Hispanic residents. There were also shifts to the right in counties with large populations of Black and Native American residents.
Educational attainment
Mr. Trump’s margins improved in counties with large populations of residents without college degrees. He also gained ground in counties with a high share of college graduates, a group that had trended blue in two previous elections.
Economic types
In 2024, Mr. Trump’s support in farming counties continued to grow. He also reversed Democratic gains in mining and manufacturing counties.
Age
Mr. Trump has generally been more popular with older voters, but his electoral performance improved across other age groups.
Across the country
In all 38 states where at least 95 percent of votes were in as of Friday afternoon, the vote margin for Mr. Trump had improved, even in places that historically favored Democrats.
