Kamala Harris failed to flip a single county in last month’s presidential election, data reveals.
The sheer scale of Donald Trump’s overwhelming victory has been widely reported; the Republican won the popular vote for the first time in his political career, and the first time in 20 years for the GOP. He also swept every swing state, with his victory all-but confirmed just hours after polls had closed.
On his path to victory, Trump boosted his support across the country in Republican and Democrat strongholds. On the contrary, Harris’ failure to boost support in any state – including those which she won – was highlighted by an instantly-viral CNN infographic.
However, Harris’ dismal performance was further explained via graph showcasing a county-by-county breakdown of the U.S. The 54 counties gained by Trump compared to 2020 are showcased in pink on the below map, with the Republican making gains nationwide, from the battlegrounds to the Vice President’s home state of California, as well as Tim Walz’s home county. Harris, meanwhile, is marked in yellow, albeit noticeably absent from the nationwide map.
This makes her the first presidential candidate to not flip a single country since 1932.
Social media commentors added context to the scale of the defeat.
Others were surprised by the comparative lack of movement in the Senate and the House of Representatives.
