2016 White working class voters were moving to the Republican party before Trump. He stopped the trend.
What happened
Even though he lost Texas, Donald Trump was the clear winner for the Republican Party on Tuesday, ending the day as the unrivaled favorite for the nomination. On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton strengthened her momentum, helped in part by a sweep of Southern states with large black voting populations.
The president’s daughter released an email showing that she told Trump hotel executives to charge “market price.” The hotel is accused of overcharging.
Trump opponents who were stunned by his 2016 victory await a second judgment with far less confidence.
Trump levels baseless claim against doctors; still has a narrow path to victory. Some Democrats fear a repeat of 2016 but Biden sticks to his course.
Our data suggest that in 2016, Trump won by winning over repeat voters, not inspiring new ones to cast ballots.
