Ben Higgins tried to parlay his Bachelor success into a political career, but the campaign didn't last long.
The focus on Bachelor Nation also makes sense given the franchise's viewership is dominated by one of the most crucial swing votes of recent elections: white women.
In the past two presidential elections, white women were the most closely split demographic subgroup tracked by major exit polls.
In 2016, Donald Trump won over 52% of white women against Hillary Clinton's 43%, exit polls found, while Trump bested Joe Biden in 2020 among white women 55% to 44%.
The overlap between the swingiest demographic and the "Bachelor" audience suggests Bachelor Nation has value to those who seek to lead our nation.
