    In the swing states, Harris did just about as well or better than Biden. Trump just got more, even more than Biden in 2020.

    Wisconsin

    Biden 2020: 1.63 million

    Harris 2024: 1.667 million

    Trump 2024: 1.697 million

    Michigan

    Biden 2020: 2.804 million

    Harris 2024: 2.72 million

    Trump 2024: 2.802 million

    Georgia

    Biden 2020: 2.473 million

    Harris 2024: 2.543 million

    Trump 2024: 2.66 million

    Pennsylvania

    Biden 2020: 3.459 million

    Harris 2024: 3.352 million

    Trump 2024: 3.491 million

    Nevada and Arizona are taking their sweet time finishing counts but the story looks similar. 2024 Trump beats even 2020 Biden. So it’s not so much that they didn’t turn out for Harris, it’s that more turned out for Trump.

      I would argue that this data shows that this election result is what the American people want. They either didn’t mind it happening and didn’t vote against it, or they actively voted for it. Democracy in action. It just kinda really sucks that this is what you guys chose.

      The sad truth is Biden only beat Trump because of covid and there was no pandemic this year. Biden was always a terrible candidate and it took a disease that killed a million Americans to get him elected, didnt he try like four times before this and never make it past a primary? After all that he decided to slow walk through this yeaes primaries despite critisicm, then drop out after they couldn’t be ran again. Biden has A LOT of blame for this election.
