The only definition of "working class" that lines up with Trump voter is the postmodern "holds right-wing views on culture war issues."
That's how the "working class" can include car dealership owners and rich tech VCs along with some laborers, but not include many waiters and grade school teachers.

Although it's also worth noting that more than half of Biden 2020 voters do not have a college degree.
It's amazing—though not too surprising—how many politicians and media figures use the terms "working class" and "white working class" as interchangeable synonyms.
That's how things like Biden joining striking autoworkers on a picket line is not standing up for the working class, but things like a wealthy media figure publicly complaining about "pronouns" is.
To some, it still does. But the 21st century right has successfully rebranded it, such that many believe Trump won working class voters, even though he lost lower income voters, but won among white ones.
