Donald Trump won back the White House in 2024 with the help of a racially diverse group of inconsistent voters — not necessarily by changing their minds, but by just getting them to show up.

That’s the conclusion of a new Pew Research Center analysis released Thursday, offering the clearest picture yet of how Trump’s victory represents a continuing realignment in US politics. The three-time candidate became only the second Republican to win the national popular vote since 1988 — in part by boosting turnout among his supporters and drawing new strength from Black, Hispanic and naturalized voters.
