Summary

The recent U.S. election saw a significant Democratic underperformance, with Kamala Harris drawing 1.4 million fewer votes than Joe Biden in 2020, while Donald Trump gained 1.1 million additional votes.

Nationally, Democrats lost more votes than Republicans gained, but in key swing states like Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, Trump’s gains outpaced Harris’s losses, securing his victory.

In many counties, Democratic votes dropped sharply even where Republican gains were modest.

Higher turnout in swing states, driven by Trump supporters, was a crucial factor in his win.

      When get around to it. Meanwhile, you can tell me how these missing votes change Trump’s ceiling or Harris underperformance. You are only changing conditions, nothing more,

        This is what I said:

        Y’all really need to stop quoting these numbers as if they’re anything but preliminary.

        Don’t put words in my mouth.
