Harris only received five percent of Republican votes — less than the six percent Joe Biden won in 2020 when he beat Trump, as well as the seven percent won by Hillary Clinton in 2016 when she lost to him. While Harris won independents and moderates, she did so by smaller margins than Biden did in 2020.
Meanwhile, Harris lost households earning under $100,000, while Democratic turnout collapsed. Votes are still being counted, but Harris is on pace to underperform Biden’s 2020 totals by millions of votes.
You had it right the first time, people voted for change in 2020, and they did it again this time. Same same.
It’s more accurate to say Trump’s base cult voted like a cult and will always vote for him no matter. This evidenced by the fact that Trump may or may not even break his 2020 numbers despite even population growth.
It’s not just that these people voted for change as in all those millions who voted for Biden in 2020 voted for Trump; they just didn’t vote for anything at all.
New voters voted for him too. All you saw was that they wouldnt choose kamala over trump, even if she tried to act like she would bring the old school republican party back.
People are being taken advantage of worse than ever, and only one party would admit that and talk about fixing it. Thats the party that won.
