    Trump had his vote count decrease from 2020, despite an increased electorate size.

    So yes. The jaws of victory were in the room with us, and the Dems fucked it.

      Trump’s vote share increased in swing states, where it mattered.

      Even Kamala got a higher number of votes than biden in most swing states.

      The decrease in turnout is pretty much only in safe states.
