US elections 2024 updates: Catch all the LIVE updates here as Donald Trump is all set to comeback as the 47th US President
Donald Trump won the presidency after holding tight to his core base of voters and slightly expanding his coalition to include several groups that have traditionally been a part of the Democratic base. That finding comes from AP VoteCast, a sweeping survey of more than 120,000 voters nationwide that shows what issues mattered to voters in this election. Trump picked up a small but significant share of Black and Hispanic voters, and made narrow gains with men and women. As Trump chipped away at parts of Democrats' coalition, Vice President Kamala Harris wasn't able to make enough of her own gains. Trump succeeded in locking down his traditionally older, white base of voters, and he slightly expanded his margins with other groups into a winning coalition. Here's how five key demographic groups voted, according to AP VoteCast. Most Trump voters were white, a trend that continued from 2020 Slightly more than 8 in 10 Trump voters in this election were white, roughly in line with 2020.

Federal Reserve officials are poised Thursday to reduce their key interest rate for a second straight time, responding to a steady slowdown of the inflation pressures that exasperated many Americans and contributed to Donald Trump's presidential election victory.
