How Kamala Harris lost voters in the battlegrounds’ biggest cities
Looking at precinct data across 6 of the biggest cities per swing state (Detroit wasn't fully available yet), Kamala still received near 95% of the Black Vote in majority Black precincts at least 85% Black, a slight shift to Trump. But turnout tanked, especially in lower income neighborhoods at 7%, failing to mobilize her base
Majority Hispanic precincts in city battlegrounds faired worse, swinging a whopping 8 pts to Trump, with turnout dropping 11%. The Puerto Rican precincts in Philly ironically still gave a big swing to Trump as well.
All this happened while turnout from White rural voters reached new turnout records, ending Democrats chances of winning the election and the popular vote.
If Republicans continue to mobilize their base of support at this level, it will be hard to win elections for Democrats while eroding Hispanic voters significantly.
