A majority of low-income non-college-educated Americans supported Donald Trump in Tuesday’s election marking a drastic shift from Democrats.
Exit poll data revealed that 56 percent of voters without a college degree voted for Trump along with 50 percent of voters with income under $50,000.
Only 47 percent of those supported Kamala Harris which marked a striking reversal from the Obama-era voting patterns where Democrats had a solid base among the working-class, low-income voters.
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders addressed the matter following Harris’ defeat.
“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” Sanders said in a statement.
“First, it was the white working class, and now, it is Latino and Black workers as well.”
