The beginning of the article really confused me because I know a lot of people that switched from Biden to Trump but no one who switched from Trump to Biden. But of course, in the end you are right. I’m Hispanic, and so is everyone I know who switched from Biden to Trump.

IMO, based on conversations with those people, the biggest factor was that in 2020, we disliked Trump and were neutral to Biden. Based on Biden’s performance, we now dislike both, and it’s a hard choice for many. This is why we are supporting Haley as something different. (This honestly includes myself. I’m switching from Biden to Third party, but that’s because I moved from a swing state to a Biden state, largely because the Republican governor. Of course my move also strengthens Trumps lead in swing states.)

A trend which I've been hearing is that there is a massive split between the male vote and the female vote. (Something along the lines that if only one gender voted tomorrow, opposite candidates would win in blowouts) It seems that, from what I've heard, all of the conservative gains among blacks, for example, are among male black voters. I've not heard any chatter about other minorities, but I wonder if it is similar?
