Following Donald Trump’s presidential victory in 2016, Republican-leaning areas of the United States observed a “sharp increase” in births, dubbed the “Trump baby bump.” However, Democratic counties experienced a baby slump, a new study has revealed.
Republicans may have chosen to have more children as a result of Trump’s administration since it improved their economic optimism, as suggested by researchers. In the first two years of Trump’s presidency, there were between one and two percentage points fewer infants born to Republicans than to Democrats.
