Dick Morris to Newsmax: Election Outcome 'Is the End of Identity Politics'

Dick Morris, political adviser and host of Newsmax's "Dick Morris Democracy," declared former President-elect Donald Trump's victory signals the end of identity politics while pointing to significant shifts in voting trends among minority groups as turning points in U.S. politics.

In an appearance on "The Chris Salcedo Show," Morris argued that changing demographics and recent voting patterns signal a new era in American politics.

"I think that the most significant result of the election last night, other than, of course, the outcome, is the end of identity politics; never again will a candidate be nominated because of who she or he is, what color, what color the skin is, where they're from. That now is gone as a factor in politics," he said.

Morris highlighted shifts within the Latino electorate, emphasizing the importance of former President Trump's growing support among Hispanic voters.

"Trump carried the Latino vote, which is enormously important. Trump went from 36% of the vote to 54%," Morris said, underscoring the staying power of this demographic shift.

"I think the other thing that's gone is the idea of the Black and Hispanic vote being a minority," he added.

He also noted gains among Black male voters, saying Trump's support increased from "8% to 25%."

As of Wednesday evening, Trump was projected to secure 301 electoral votes, comfortably exceeding the 270 electoral votes needed for victory. He is also winning the popular vote, with 72.5 million votes to Kamala Harris's 67.6 million, according to Decision Desk HQ.
