President-elect Joe Biden may have won the White House but he may have lost a generation of voters in his quest. It was revealed that he did not blow out President Donald J. Trump when it came to key demo groups that usually vote Democratic.
Now in four weeks, Biden will be the 46th President of the United States. He is being pressed to build a cabinet of diverse individuals who make up America. He is being pressured to add Blacks, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, LGBTQ and disabled to his cabinet.
When it came to exit polls, most said that Biden did reasonably well with Democrats and independents but it wasn’t a blowout.

| Trump got him a strong support from Latino voters. |
Biden did win over the Latino/Hispanic vote. But he did not achieve the massive numbers that Democrats often gain during election years.
Biden managed to win 73% of the Latino/Hispanic vote. It was down. 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton managed to win 79% of the Latino/Hispanic vote. Trump managed to win over Cuban, Colombian-American, Panamanian and Caribbean voters.
Asian Americans voted for Biden at a rate of 63% to 31%. That means Trump managed to win despite him calling the coronavirus the China Virus. That means Trump won over Korean, Arab-American, Samoan, Vietnamese and Filipino voters.
Biden had strong support from Asian Americans throughout the election cycle, but Clinton won over 65% of the vote. Trump had 27% at the time.
Kamala Harris, the vice president-elect is a woman of color. She is Jamaican and Indian descent. She is the first African American, first South Asian American and first woman to be the Vice President of the United States.
Biden’s biggest factor to his victory came not only from Kamala but from American millionaire and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang.
Yang, who is a part of the Biden transition team is urging the president-elect to pick Asian Americans to lead cabinet positions.
Biden may find it tougher in 2024. With the electoral college shifting the delegate count to states that lean Republican, it’s going to be a challenge for Democrats to win back voters who shifted to Trump and Republicans.

| Biden must win back the coalition. |
States like Texas, Florida, Montana and North Carolina are expected to gain new Congressional Districts. Trump carried these states. California, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York and Rhode Island will lose a Congressional District. Biden managed to win back Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Biden won Georgia but lost Ohio. Biden won Arizona but barely won Minnesota. Trump won Ohio and Florida but ended up losing the electoral college and the election.
Arizona will gain a Congressional District. Georgia will remain the same. Ohio will lose a Congressional District.
When Biden takes office, he will face an onslaught of problems. There could be a government shutdown, a global pandemic, an economic crisis, a country divided on race, gender and political leanings, an angry Trump vowing to cause chaos, and Republicans refusing to work with Biden to “Build Back Better.”
Trump’s disgraceful presidency will be over soon. His presence will continue to be a topic of news and tabloids.
Biden owes his victory to Black women, Native Americans and the moderates. He will have a challenge to build back the coalition. He will have to win back Black men, Hispanics and Asian Americans.
