Imagine for a moment you’re the Democrats, and your rallying cry for the last eight years has been Donald Trump is “racist” and a “Nazi,” only to discover that one of your own leftist media mouthpieces are openly admitting that the Republican Party has become “more diverse than it’s ever been in modern times” under Trump’s leadership.
Well, that’s what happened when NBC News National Political Correspondent Steve Kornacki explained how Trump won the election.
Speaking with “Meet The Press” moderator Kristen Welker, Kornacki noted how minority groups have shifted toward the GOP while Democrats have attracted more white liberals.
Kornacki said Trump “did it by transforming the Republican Party. It is now more diverse than it’s ever been in modern times, and certainly much more than when Donald Trump first came on the scene eight years ago.”
Within the backdrop of election statistics, Kornacki analyzed the results from “pre-Trump” in 2012 compared to now.
The data shows that an increasing number of voters aged 30, those with an income of less than $50,000 and no college degree, have gravitated to the GOP.
Kornacki highlighted what will undoubtedly become the Democrat’s worst nightmare – the Republican Party is becoming more diverse.
“Again, pre-Trump versus now,” he began.
“The black vote is still overwhelmingly Democratic, but that’s a 15-point shift. It used to be 87 points for the Democrats, down to 72. How about this?”
“You’ve heard a lot about it this week. This is what the numbers look like. Hispanic voters were 44 points Democratic before Donald Trump,” he added.
“Now, basically a toss-up constituency. And Asian Americans, a 32-point shift there as well. That’s what’s happened to the Republican Party since Donald Trump became its standard bearer eight years ago. This has been the movement.”
However, the story is the “opposite” for the Democratic Party.
The result shows more white voters earning more than $100,000 are turning blue.
Kornacki pointed out that Trump’s “giant strides” in blue states like California are significant, not to mention the fact he became the first Republican to win the popular vote in 20 years,
Welker did note that while the results are in and “they’re not going to change,” counting is still happening in some places.
“Yeah. I mean, if you remember from 2020, it took about a month till we got all the national popular votes,” Kornacki said.
“And let me just show you, nationally here, one thing we’re waiting on, big — we know California is a Harris state. But as I said, still some votes to come: 75% is in. That means there are millions more votes just from California.”
“And there are other states like this. A lot of it has to do with vote by mail, those ballots taking a long time for some of these states,” he added.
“So when you look at where the current popular vote stands, you know, you’ve got there — probably another 10 million or so, when all is said and done, are going to be added to this.”
