The 2024 Results Undermine the Legitimacy of the 2020 Results—Plus, Biden Crime Family Pardons and Sherrod Brown Needs to Thank Ohioans Then Zip His Lip

The true measure of Trump's 2024 victory is the 9.5 million vote swing from 2020 to 2024 at the same time 4.03 million fewer votes were cast. That figure shows the scale of the mandate he secured.

In 2024, Donald Trump grew his vote total in every winning state and shrunk his vote loss in every losing state compared to 2020. That result in itself is fairly impressive. Here are the states in which the margin of victory or loss as a percent was greater than 5.0%—meaning, Trump grew his margins or shrunk his opponent’s margins:

• Blue States

  • New York — 12.63%

  • California — 11.13%

  • New Jersey — 10.54%

  • Massachusetts — 9.57%

  • DC — 7.63%

  • Rhode Island — 7.26%

  • Illinois — 6.98%

  • Maryland — 6.58%

  • Connecticut — 6.19%

• Red States

  • Florida — 9.62%

  • Texas — 8.41%

  • Idaho — 7.51%

  • Tennessee — 6.70%

  • South Carolina — 6.53%

• Battleground States

  • Arizona — 5.93%

  • Nevada — 5.80%

As the detailed table below shows, these are the states where Trump overcame the seven million popular vote deficit he lost by in 2020 and achieved the 2.5 million popular vote victory in 2024.
