The belief that Trump's victory stemmed from a major shift in voter allegiance is misguided; data indicates a drastic fall in Democratic voter turnout.
Contrary to media narratives, Trump’s wins in 2024 were due to significant numbers of Biden voters from 2020 not showing up at all, not by switching.
Many counties showed red arrows indicating a national shift right, but careful analysis reveals that while counties swung, voters largely remained aligned with their prior choices.
The total votes cast in the 2024 election were 153 million, lower than 2020's 155 million, highlighting a crucial decline in Democratic voter turnout despite population growth.
