All 50 states shifted red in 2024

Republicans have won a larger share of votes in every state in 2024 compared to 2020, with 95 percent of votes counted nationwide.

In the 2020 election, Trump received 37.74 percent of the vote in New York, while Biden secured 60.87 percent. However, in 2024, Trump earned 44.17 percent of the vote, compared to 55.83 percent for Harris. This marks the biggest shift, with a 6.43 percent change, and nearly 97 percent of the vote counted.

Other notable swings to the right include New Jersey (4.92 percent), Florida (4.88 percent), California (4.61 percent) and Massachusetts (4.38 percent).






A proper swingometer election.

Makes you wonder if a lot of the money backing Trump might have been from in the know Dems:

A senior adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign said their own internal polling never showed her leading President-elect Donald Trump, and they were "surprised" when public polls put her ahead.

"We were behind, I mean, I think it surprised people because there were these public polls that came out in late September, early October, showing us with leads that we never saw," senior campaign adviser David Plouffe said on the politics podcast "Pod Save America" that aired Tuesday.

If that is the case then he was being a little dishonest in this interview the day before the election. If the Democrats' internal polling was showing Trump winning then the Trump campaign polling would very likely have been showing the same.

The people lumping the millions on here and elsewhere were almost certainly connected to the Trump campaign and would have had access to the data in my view. In 2016, Paul Manafort was passing internal polling data to the Russians, so who knows how many people had access this year.

A pardon for Hunter wasn't unreasonable. Like Trump's prosecutions, Hunter's was a political prosecution that would not normally be pursued. It's a shame it won't make it to the supreme court now because it would have been a good case to set a precedent for 2a rights.
