I'm making the point that voters care about more substantive issues than height or color.

The fact is inflation was at a all time high during Biden's presidency as were mass layoffs. Whether they were directly a result of Biden's policies is definitely up for debate. But what is unequivocally true it happened under his watch. The buck stops with the sitting President.

So I disagree with the GPs condescending view that Trump voters were swayed by the fact he is "tall, white and confident." Voters cared about issues like immigration and the economy and felt the country was going in the wrong direction on these issues.




The vast majority of the inflation issue can be attributed to supply chain bottlenecks during covid and money printing. I don't think Biden had anything to do with it.

I get your point about people voting for Trump not because he is a white male and Harris is a diverse female. It's a naive view. People overwhelmingly voted Obama in and he's mostly black.

I'm more interested in the facts of the core issue for why people vote for Trump.
