They discuss the segmentation of Trump voters into four distinct groups, their attitudes towards Trump’s policies, and their views on key issues like immigration and democracy. The episode also touches upon the surprising demographic diversity within Trump's coalition and the role of economic concerns in shaping voter preferences.
