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.
This information is from election night. The total votes will exceed last time around.
74,366,055 is higher than 74,223,975 and there's still 4% of the vote to be counted. And the US Population is basically the same as in 2020 due to COVID offsetting and birth and immigration decline related to it.
US population is up something like 6 million in those four years.
Nobody born in the last four years got to vote.
I think you'll find there a lot of people though who were alive already in 2020 who reached the age of 18 by 2024.
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.
