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.

    It’s not so much as that it collapsed as it was artificially inflated in 2020.

    The drive for covid-safe vote by mail turned out far more people in 2020 than 2024 and that helped Biden.

      Trump seems to have turned out just as many as before. Plus, I don’t think any of the blue wall states changed their vote by mail policies.

        Trump was pushing for in person voting in 2020 as well, that didn’t change.
