"And if exit polls are to be believed, several voting blocs comprised of white and older Americans contributed to his success."
"While whites continued to favor the Republican candidate in 2020—as they have in every presidential election since 1968—it is notable that this margin was reduced from 20% to 17% nationally. At the same time, the Democratic margins for each of the major nonwhite groups was somewhat reduced."
"Moreover, in key battleground states, white female college graduates generally registered greater support for Biden in 2020 than they did for Hillary Clinton in 2016."
"Take Arizona. It is a state that has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1996. While rapidly diversifying, its older white population has leaned heavily toward Republicans. This time was different; white college graduate women and men flipped sharply toward Democrats, from 2016 Republican advantages of 2% and 12%, respectively, to 2020 Democratic advantages of 15% and 3%."
So, what's the deal? Why did the "White Vote" favor Biden in this election?
A good chunk of white people vote Democrat, I'm one of them. I've never voted R in my life
The important thing to note is that the majority of white Americans have not voted for a Democrat President in more than 55 years.
The only reason that any Democrat became President was because of the minority vote.
And the reason for that is they dupe the minorities with their repeated (empty) promises of "we'll take care of you...trust us, it's for real this time."
But white Americans are only 60% of the population. Only 49% or American children under 15 are white. Get used to it. We are forever now a multiracial country. Many white families of my neighbors and my own relatives have a nonwhite member by birth or marriage.

For some reason, this is not something that gets told very much. I wonder why.
The Nation of Islam voted disproportionately in favor of Biden. That is Proof of systemic,... something!
Could be Trump's racist anti-Islamic tendencies and banning travel from several Islamic countries. That kind of rhetoric doesnt make your victim want to kiss your ass and vote for you.
Trump got clear cut support of the Proud Boy KKK wannabes. The ones that wear a sheet or march down street in Nazi uniforms with swastika flags pretending to be Hitler fanboys.
Some of our fathers and grandfathers gave their lives to fight that FASCIST nonsense. But many now want one of those devils in power here. Cause they know the white boys arent breeding and soon no longer an "Aryan Nation".....
Why did White voters in this election favor Biden over Trump?
Actually, it was green voters who favored Biden. I'm using "green" in the classic derogatory sense of the word. For you young'uns who have never seen it used that way... it means ignorant. Not "save the polar bear."
Just IMO as an independent suburban woman who graduated college many many years ago, we need normal. Someone who doesn't tweet conspiracy theories or make fun of others or lie constantly. Someone who will be a president for ALL Americans & not just his base.
Many of us didn't vote FOR Biden but against Trump.
sadly, this. the white people who watch the white msm, and want to be part of the "popular kids" who seem to hate trump. so they are so afraid of being looked down on, or worry what "other people " and places think, they jumped on board like trained monkeys, and not that well trained at that.
i never read his tweets, becauss i dont do fb or any of that garbage. life was good. dont care what you think of me.
trump lost the woke joke, or media obsessed whites.
now they can enjoy their choice.
i guess they dont like money or jobs. and love taxes.
Looks like the only notable pro-Democrat shift was among white men. And that may be mostly about them disliking Biden less than they did Hillary. It's amazing that, with everything that's gone on since 2016, the 2020 election may have come down to something so mundane.
