President Donald Trump is once again the projected winner of the 2024 presidential election, per RSBN.

While three states had yet to be called as of Wednesday morning, he won the popular vote and is projected to win 277 electoral votes. This was achieved through his popularity with working class voters, which included a surge in support from minorities. 

Political analyst Scott Jennings broke down the election results on CNN calling Trump’s win the “revenge of the average, everyday working class American.”

He pointed out how the Harris campaign condescended the working class and insulted them. “They’re not garbage. They’re not nazis. They’re just regular people who get up and go to work everyday and are trying to make a better life for their kids, and they feel like they have been told to shut up when they have complained about that things that are hurting them in their own lives.”

Jennings also called out “the political information complex” and how the mainstream media was “ignoring the fundamentals” of simple voter issues. 

Politico editor, Jamie Dettmer, also echoed these sentiments in an op-ed on the subject of working class voters, Wednesday morning. 

She wrote, “The Democrats have consistently failed to understand the reasons for working-class disaffection — let alone find remedies to offer them.”

“The established left has little idea of how to talk anymore to their traditional supporters — showcasing Beyonce and Lady Gaga just doesn’t cut it,” she added. “And not only that, when working-class voters have the temerity to raise their grievances, they’re disparaged.”

According to the New York Post, multiple exit polls displayed how the demographics of the working class also delivered Trump a popular vote win. The outlet reported that Trump won 54 percent of the male Hispanic vote and gained 13 points with Hispanic voters of both genders. 

In addition, the New York Post reported that Trump increased his support from Black voters, gaining 23 percent of the black male vote and 17 percent of the vote from black females, a modest amount but a massive increase that doubled his support from the 2020 election.
