And how effective was the Liz/Dick Cheney appeal to the suburbs, in the end? Given the growing demographics since 2020 Trump should not have effectively flatlined given a growing electorate - until there was depressed turnout he’s never actually had the popular vote.
2016:
Trump - 62,984,828 / 46.1%
Clinton - 65,853,514 / 48.2%
2020 Cycle with heightened turnout for all parties
Biden - 81,283,501 / 51.3% [+ 15,429,987 vs 2016]
Trump - 74,223,975 / 46.8% [+ 11,239,147 vs 2016]
2024:
Trump - 74,644,300 / 50.5% [+ 420,325 vs 2020]
Harris - 70,910,573 / 47.9% [- 10,372,928 vs 2020]
All that means is that the Dems ran on the terrible platform of trying to court Republicans instead of trying to court progressives. It has nothing to do with voting systems.
