Trump's path to victory in 2024 wasn't through his base alone—it was through precision targeting of key demographic groups that traditionally lean Democratic. The margins were razor-thin, but the strategy was effective. The Math Trump started with his rock-solid 47-48% base. They needed new voters outside of their base. They targeted demographics in traditional democratic d...
