White woman of course Trump took 53 to 46.
Black voters strongly supported Harris 83 to 16 but Harris dropped from Biden's 91% in the last election, Trump increase from 8 to 16%
Trump gained in almost every demographic.
Latino voters Trump increased
Young voters Harris under performed.Harris dropped from 61% to 52%
I think its difficult to label 75 million voters as mysoginysts and racists considering Trump's increases in minority groups and with woman.
Harris didn't outperform Biden in any county, not one.
I think this points to the Democrats trying to drive a narrative instead of listening to the middle and lower class and what they wanted to hear.
I think that in terms of the argument that the last two woman have lost. I think we would need to analyze the campaigns that they ran. Hillary ran a poor campaign, and avoided campaigning in key areas, Harris I don't think ran a great campaign, and she didn't present well on the border issues, the economy, and crime.
Just my 2 cents.

Hard to say for sure what exactly happened, but did Trump really run a good campaign? He got walloped in the debate, was constantly referring to Hannibal Lecter, didn't even know where he was many times etc. There's never one reason, but the degree to which Harris got clobbered makes me think the woman factor played a role, even to some women voters negatively.
