After his 2020 loss, Trump became the second president to regain office non-consecutively and the first Republican to win the popular vote in two decades. His successful comeback is credited to the platform that granted him his first victory. Voters favored his immigration and economic policies, which they felt had suffered under his predecessors. Notably, Trump secured 48% of the Latino vote—a 20% increase from 2016 (Contreras, 2025). Ironically, some Americans are now protesting the president for the very policies they helped vote into office.
