Poor handling of virus cost Trump his reelection, campaign autopsy finds
WaPo via MSNThe report, which groups states into ones Trump held versus ones that were flipped, says that voters found Biden more competent to deal with the coronavirus crisis and in both groups gave him higher marks on being honest.
Although Trump dominated among voters focused on the economy, according to the analysis, Biden won Coronavirus voters, which was a bigger share.
It outlines in specific detail how Trump lost key demographic groups that he needed to win, while lauding some of his gains among minority groups.
POTUS suffered his greatest erosion with White voters, particularly White Men in both state groups. However, he made double digit gains with Hispanics in both groups, while his performance among Blacks was virtually the same as 2016. POTUS lost ground with almost every age group in both state groupings, the autopsy reads, adding that the worst loss was among White college-educated voters.
