The recent election results have shown a significant shift in voter sentiment, with inflation being a major driving factor. Donald Trump and the Republican Party made substantial gains across various demographics and regions, including 49 states and D.C., marking the biggest party swing since 1992. Trump gained ground in Wisconsin college wards and saw the best Republican showing in decades among young voters, Black voters, and Hispanic voters. The Republican National Committee and Trump's campaign were prepared to protect election integrity, countering attempts to disenfranchise voters. The Catholic vote also played a significant role in Trump's victory. Additionally, it was the best popular vote for House Republicans in a presidential year since 1928.
