Democrats and Republicans prioritised different issues, lived in different communities and even voted on different kinds of ballots. Trump and Biden voters, however, express strikingly different views on those challenges, according to AP VoteCast. About half of Trump voters also called the economy and jobs the top issue, while only 1 in 10 Biden voters named it most important. Many Democrats desperately hoped that Mr. Trump would suffer an embarrassing defeat that would serve as a clear repudiation of Mr. Trump and his brand of politics. At the very least, they wanted an unambiguous mandate that would allow Mr. Biden to pursue ambitious policies on health care, education and the economy.
