The president also made significant gains with Black and Asian voters, boosting his support among Black voters from 8% in 2020 to 15% in 2024, and among Asian voters from 30% to 40%.
One former Obama voter HoSang spoke to, Orlando Owens from Milwaukee, said that he joined the Democratic Party because he was Black, but was eventually disaffected after becoming tired of the party's identity politics and empty promises.
"When you get your food stamp review, you have to go give shot records, school records, blood type. You almost have to get absolutely naked to get a $50 increase. But you have people coming to this country who have no documentation who are staying in hotels for two years, for free? How is that right?" he questioned. "A lot of Black people have already heard the promises from the Democrats. And nothing was delivered."
HoSang argued that the foreclosure crisis, opioid epidemic and chronic funding shortfalls have "created cracks in the bedrock of Democratic support" in cities like Milwaukee, and yet, "Democrats have largely doubled down on promising relatively modest policy reforms meant to speak to the interests of voters of color."
