Trump Cashes In On Republicans Popularity Among Minorities And Women
In an attempt to take advantage of his party's popularity among women and minorities in the recently concluded election, President Donald Trump described the Republican Party as the party of inclusion during Thursday's news conference. Aside from that, the POTUS made several other claims without providing substantial proofs at the press conference.
Trump pointed out that it looks like Democrats are the party that belongs and is run by the Big Tech, the Big Media, and the Big Donors, while his own party, on the other hand, has emerged as the party that focuses on the American worker. He then went on to say that he believes the Republicans have become the party of inclusion.
After the Nov. 3 election, Trump declared 2020 as the year of the Republican woman. This announcement was followed by the House GOP's move to adding about ten women to its ranks. Only thirteen GOP women previously held seats in the House, but now that number has gone up to 23, Fox News reported.
Trump announced this was the first time Republicans did not lose a race in the House. Republican incumbents weren't unseated in the House, he explained, adding that GOP challengers were able to flip seven seats. He said 2020 is the year of Republican woman, noting that more Republican women have been elected to Congress than before.
After lauding this great achievement, Trump pointed out that he received the largest share of votes from non-White voters as compared to any Republican in the last 60 years. Despite losing support among white voters, the president garnered a considerable amount of backing from Hispanic and Latino voters.
Even as votes continue to roll in, the president earned 8 percent from the Black voters, marking a 6 percent increase from 2016. He has 35 percent support among Hispanics, which was 28 percent back in 2016. The Democratic candidate has managed to garner more support from White voters, with 43 percent, while Hillary Clinton had 39 percent support four years ago.
This data is based on American electorate surveys that have been conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago, with the Associated Press publishing the voting results. The final vote numbers could affect those numbers by a few percentage points in either Democrats or Republicans' direction.
Trump raised questions regarding the reliability of the ongoing polls, noting that Republicans were winning in all crucial states by significant margins before their numbers began to magically decrease. He also complained about them not allowing legally permissible observers, Mumbai Mirror reported.
