Coming up on forum, though President Trump lost his bid for a second term, the 2020 election made clear the consistency of his support among white voters.

Exip polls found large majorities of Asian American, Latinx, and especially black voters all supported Biden.

The only group with whom Trump won a majority was among white voters.

In this hour form, we explore why, and we want to hear what you think after this news.

Thank you. This is Forum. I'm Mina Kim. After four tumultuous years of President Trump that saw a mismanaged pandemic where nearly 250,000 people have died, toddlers taken from their parents, reinvigorated white supremacists, and more. Many political observers expected the president to lose support from 2016.

And while Trump lost the 2020 election, he did manage to hold on to his support among most white voters,

and if exit polls hold, even grow his support overall.

In this hour, we examine what drives Trump's steady support among white voters and what it means for U.S.

politics.
