Reading this Lani Guinier op-ed from 1993 is quite the gut punch. It was published just a few weeks before Rudy Giuliani defeated David Dinkins in a close election. Rudy won thanks to his overwhelming support amongst white voters. pic.twitter.com/mOecsaDMZ9

Almost 90% of the people who voted for Trump were white. That’s about 56 million, out of the 62 million votes he got.
60% of Hillary’s voters were white. That’s about 39 million out of 65 million.
Amongst non-whites, Hillary beat Trump 39 million to 6 million.
