JD Vance on Richard Nixon: Nixon's coalition in '72 is actually durable and much more closely resembles the Trump coalition of 2024 than the Reagan coalition of '84. What Reagan did in '84 was run up huge margins with white Americans, and of course he won a historic landslide. But the country is much less white today than it was in 1984. Nixon's coalition was unbelievably durable through the demographic changes we've seen in the United States. Reagan probably could not have won his landslide in 2024. Richard Nixon maybe could have. I think there's a very important political lesson in that for all of us in the Republican Party. He was actually like a political genius.
