Summary

America’s housing crisis is influencing voting patterns, with tough housing markets shifting significantly toward Donald Trump.

An NBC analysis found that counties ranked in the top 10% for home-buying difficulty shifted 4.5 percentage points toward Trump, compared to a 3.1-point national median.

High housing costs in states like Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania turned many counties into political battlegrounds.

Experts argue that financial hardship and skyrocketing housing prices fueled economic discontent, creating a disconnect between Democratic messaging on economic progress and voters’ lived experiences.

    Things are really going to go in their favor now that Trump is in office! It’s not like the CEO of BlackRock donated $100 million to Donald Trump’s campaign, putting him in the top 10 of donors!

    …I fucking hate this timeline. Don’t vote for the woman who would attempt to give a first time homebuyers credit, no, vote for the billionaire with the billionaire cabinet backed by billionaires that are buying all the houses!
