The 2024 General Election Reveals a Renewed Republican Party

DETROIT — An NBC News exit poll shows President-elect Donald Trump has made inroads into voting blocs typically found in the Democratic Party.

Against the backdrop of a new wave of supporters?

Hispanic, black men, Arab and Muslim American voters.

This alliance is not your father’s Republican Party, which historically consisted mostly of older white men.

This is a working class coalition that crosses ethnic boundaries, which begs the question:

Are we witnessing a new Republican Party or a social experiment under Trump’s presidency?

Lorenzo Sewell, senior pastor at 180 Church, became a registered Republican voter as soon as he could, he said.

“We know that we should not live in the same poverty as in 1,000 majority-black cities in this country. Something has to change, and that’s why black men elected the president. Donald Trump,” Sewell said.

The religious leader said the new president gave him the opportunity to advance the black agenda by gaining a seat at the table. The president-elect visited Sewell’s church and invited him to meet with Trump campaign officials during his speech at this year’s Republican National Convention.

“Barack Obama talked down to us. Kamala Harris, she talked down to us. She never gave us a chance to sit at the table,” he said.

Sewell worked tirelessly to convince more community members to switch sides.

On Fridays, he hosts “Souls to the Polls” in his community.

Within a few weeks, Local 4 reported a gap between Arab and Muslim American voters from Democratic candidates after they raised concerns about the war between Israel and Hamas.

Community leaders and members have made their stance known regarding the deepening regional conflict in the Middle East.

“Today we showed that we were not bluffing when we passed the red line,” Samraa Lukman said.

Mid October The Latin American Federation worked with groups in Michigan to gain the Latino vote..

At the time, he also released a poll that showed a significant number of people planned to vote with a high degree of support for Vice President Kamala Harris.

So what happened?

“That’s the million-dollar question,” said Roberto Valdez Jr., the federation’s Midwest policy director. “I think it’s one of those things that we’re still trying to analyze and understand why this shift happened.”

The nonpartisan organization is expected to release its own exit poll soon.

While survey respondents said issues such as immigration, abortion and the war between Israel and Hamas are important, what really worries them is the purse strings.

The question also remains: Did disinformation and disinformation targeting Latino men play a role?

“I think it’s too early, but I think it’s definitely something we can’t lose sight of,” Valdez said.

What can’t be overlooked is that personal finance seemed to motivate Latino and black men, while the Arab and Muslim community used their voice to protest.

As for how voters feel about the hate groups and questionable racist rhetoric that either support or surround the new president, some argue that there is a discrepancy between how Trump is portrayed in the media and when he is encountered.

If he’s racist, he’s bad, Sewell said.

When asked if these figures are the future of the Republican Party, Sewell didn’t miss a beat.

“That’s what I see,” he said. “The Door of Opportunity”
