"A dramatic shift": Blue states edge red in 2024 Election

There’s been a shift within the United States. 

Donald Trump has claimed the Presidency, securing the over 270 Electoral College votes needed. 

CNN projects that the Republicans will gain control of the Senate, but the House of Representatives is still up for grabs. 

Former Republican Party Communications Director Doug Heye told Mike Hosking that Trump gained ground in traditionally blue states, which says a lot about how the country has changed and is changing. 

Trump lost New Jersey by only four points as opposed to the 16 points he lost by in 2020, Connecticut was lost by eight points compared to 20, Maryland was 22 compared to 33. 

“New York state is a good example – Trump lost the state by 12 points, he lost it by 23 last time, and Kamala Harris is on track for the worst performance in New York City since 1992.”
