Trump Campaign’s Hopes Rest on Boosting White Working-Class Turnout


Not long ago, white working-class voters flooded to the polls in unusually large numbers to help the GOP win the White House. Today, Mr. Bush’s achievement in driving turnout suggests an opportunity for another Republican re-election bid. White voters without four-year college degrees, often called the white working class, make up the largest share of nonvoters in many battleground states, and Mr. Bush showed that it’s possible to boost turnout significantly among that group. For Mr. Trump, the target is voters such as Kyle Campbell of Blanchester, Ohio, who sat out the 2016 election. “I like Trump because he’s a no-bull—kind of guy,” said Mr. Campbell, 26, who works in manufacturing.
