We now have about 99.5% of the votes tabulated.
The final tally will not change the electoral outcome, but the final Trump tally will be near 49.88% or approximately 187,000 below a majority vote.
Trump will likely end up about 2.9M votes ahead of 2020, while Harris will likely come in with 6.6M less than Biden's 2020 numbers.
A lot has been made of how much Trump outperformed Biden's 2020 percentages in various minorities and demographic groups.
I am trying to find some vote totals of these groups.
Example: if 10 people of a certain group voted in 2020, and 8 voted for Biden and 2 voted for Trump, then Trump received 20%. However, if 8 voted in 2024, and 6 for Harris and 2 for Trump... Trump outperformed the 2020 percent with 25% in 2024.
So I tend to question those percentages, given the anticipated 4.0M less votes in 2024. My opinion would be the Harris candidacy was not well received and it is possible voters saw no real reason to bother with voting.
A couple of states...
The numbers for 2024, are projected, based on current data. It is clear that Trump had no major gains, while a dramatic drop off for Harris... compared to Biden's 2020 numbers.
There are some that have already turned their attention to 2028. There is a lot of water to flow under the bridge, between then and now... such as economy, wars, and such.
21 months ago, I previewed the 2024 election, with this.
A lot changed in that 21 months. Of course we all know about the Biden drop out, but most of the names listed in that article have fallen by the wayside. The Democrats have few remaining serious contenders for 2028, and the Republicans have only a couple.
Sure, you might wish to put forth one or two on the democrat side as contenders, but it won't happen. The republicans on that list... boil down to a couple potentials.
I am hard pressed to see any additions to the 2028 prospects, while the Republicans have added a couple and will be the higher visibility party for awhile.
Once again... a lot of water to flow under that bridge.
