A fact from SandersâTrump voters appeared on Wikipedia's

The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,

Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Article created 1 day ago, new enough, long enough (14,000s bytes), hook short and interesting, QPQ done (on my DYKÂ :), no image used. Main hook preferred due to ALT1 being
WP:SYNTH a bit (US presidential elections de jure has more than two candidates) Regards,

Sourced and in article. The "went for" wording is probably clear enough, but any improvements on this by prep/queue builders would be appreciated.

Hi, I came by to promote ALT2 but I wonder if it could be made clearer that the Sanders voters voted for him in the primaries and for Trump in the general election? Otherwise it seems logical to change the term Bernie Sanders voters to Bernie Sanders supporters to avoid the "voters...voted" run-on.
@
Maile66:Feminist suggested ALT2 and I added some more words as ALT2a. But when
Kingsif came to review this new hook suggestion, he suggested ALT2b. I personally agree with ALT2b, as I don't think "went for" is encyclopedic language. I guess I'm looking for an approval tick for ALT2b so I can promote it, as I did not write the original hook suggestion.

Why is this notable?
Given the number of Sanders voters who switched to Trump in the general election is unremarkable compared to previous elections, (eg, 15 percent of Clinton primary voters in 2008 voted for McCain in the general), why is this something that would require its own page when the pertinent details could easily be incorporated into the pages for the 2016 and 2020 election pages?

Has to be merged with some other article(s) because it's not important enough
