Democrats Won Over Some Trump Supporters
November 6, 2025 at 10:00 am EST By Taegan Goddard


Nate Cohn: “In the Trump era, Democrats have seemed to excel among the highly engaged, highly educated voters who predominate in low-turnout, off-year elections, only to struggle when more irregular and less educated voters flock to the polls in presidential years.”

“But on Tuesday, when Democrats won the Virginia and New Jersey governor’s races by wide margins, it wasn’t simply because more Democratic-leaning voters showed up to the polls while more Republican-leaning voters sat out. The Democratic candidates also succeeded at winning over a modest but meaningful sliver of President Trump’s supporters, based on exit polls and authoritative voter file records.”

Many of them have to much ego involved to admit they were bamboozled by a New York conman, but there are also those realistic enough to recognize their mistakes.

it seems that more and more Americans are pulling away from the Criminal in Chief and this has him and his super loyal followers in a snit.

I'm loving it.
