Towards the end of the US presidential election campaign, Republicans seemed resigned to losing white female voters in exchange for non-white men. “For every Karen we lose, there’s a Julio and a Jamal ready to sign up for the MAGA movement,” Republican Representative Matt Gaetz said at the beginning of this year.
As it turns out, this was a false choice. Donald Trump made historic gains among Hispanic men in 2024 and still won white female voters by eight points nationally. He led by seven points with this demographic in 2020 — a considerable uptick from his two-point lead with white women in 2016. White women were the largest subgroup of US voters this year when broken down by race and gender, comprising 40%, compared to the 35% represented by white men.
