There's no failure of Democrats other than their not lying for 4 years straight in order to secure their power.

Trump told Muslims he would do better than Biden. Then after winning he nominated Mike Huckabee who has already said the West Bank should be annexed by Israel.

Trump told Blacks Biden hasn't done enough. Then after winning he picked Steven Miller as deputy chief of staff and Pete Hegseth as defense secretary. They're both proud white supremacists.

That's all good well, but those aren't the groups that elected Trump, especially not black people. It was whites and Latinos.

Trump has already nominated two vocal white nationalists to his cabinet.

According to your link, 21% of black men, an increase of 2% over 2020, and 7% of black women. No, blacks did not elect trump, lol. 57% of whites, including 53% of white women, and 46% of Latinos sleeved trump. These two groups are significantly larger than the black electorate.
