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.
In a way Trump’s vote stayed flat too. He didn’t get that many votes more than last time. Meaning he does have a hard ceiling. Problem was that Harris received less votes in certain segments than Biden, mostly men.
I don’t think so. The total number of votes didn’t change much, but it isn’t like the exact same people from 2020 came out for him again. He made massive gains in black and Hispanic voters, for example, so his base isn’t necessarily capped yet.
In 2020, Biden received 81,284,666 votes, Trump 74,224,319.
Last Tuesday Harris received 69,119,332 votes, Trump 73,461,159.
There are still millions of uncounted votes in CA. Trump has gone from 72.6 million yesterday morning to 73.4 million today. Y’all really need to stop quoting these numbers as if they’re anything but preliminary.
edit: Knee-jerk downvoting of a factual correction. Class act right here. Screen shot for those who have poor vision and/or analytical reasoning skills…
edit 2: Up to 74.2 million Trump votes and 70.3 million Harris votes now, and counting.
There are 93,000 uncounted votes in Calfornia today. Hardly a spit in the ocean to this point.
It’s way more than 93,000.
Running from the Google results page that quotes the AP:
58% reporting
Kamala Harris 57.6% 6,108,150 votes
Donald Trump 39.8% 4,216,520 votes
Robert Kennedy 1.1% 116,628 votes
Jill Stein 0.8% 87,842 votes
Chase Oliver 0.4% 39,805 votes
Claudia De la Cruz 0.4% 37,673 votes
So, adding that all up, this 58% is 10,606,618 votes.
So 58/10,606,618 vs 100/x Solve for x.
10,606,618 x 100 / 58 = Around 18,287,272 votes total.
Meaning about 7,680,654 votes still to count.
Which is still meaningless to the point. But, thanks for your input.
Still can’t admit you were wrong?
Bwhahaha. Still has nothing to do. With the point of my first messages in this string.
5.4 million.
