    He flipped a couple of historically red states - Arizona and Georgia - for the first time in decades.

    Should be noted that Dems still did reasonably well in these states and in downballot races. Same with the Midwest. Dem senators and governors won seats in states Harris lost.

    Really makes you think.

      Oh dang I didn’t know that about Dem seats in states that Harris lost. Here in PA the people may have voted out a LONG standing Democratic Senator because people showed up for Trump and then went right down the ballot.

        Gallego won Arizona against Trump-favorite Kari Lake. He took 90k more votes than Harris.

        Josh Stein picked up nearly 400k more votes than Harris in NC, to clinch the governor’s race.

        House races were even more tilted. Probably the most glaring case was Rashida Tlalib, who won twice as many votes as Harris in her Deerborn Michigan district
