Why was the coalition of voters that elected Ronald Reagan described as "the New Right?
Answered by Bot
The coalition of voters that elected Ronald Reagan was described as "the New Right" because it was a politically influential group that emerged in the 1970s and 1980s, composed of conservative Republicans, evangelical Christians, and other traditional groups who were dissatisfied with the direction of the country under liberal Democratic policies. This group was seen as a new force in American politics that represented a departure from the traditional conservative base, and it helped Reagan win two landslide elections in 1980 and 1984. The "New Right" was also associated with Reagan's advocacy of smaller government, free markets, and a strong military, all of which were seen as distinct from the policies of previous Republican administrations.
