President-elect Trump He defeated six highly competitive states in his election victory last week. But his gains among voters were not limited to the battlefields.

Trump improved his vote share across the country, starting in conservative areas but spreading to deeply Democratic states.

But Trump’s best performances relative to 2020 came in reliably Democratic states. These states voted Democratic, but by narrower margins than before.

His biggest improvement was in New Yorkwhere the former and future president won 6.4 points.

Their gains at the county level extended across the state, but notably included improvement in all five new york city districts (where, again, there are some votes left to count).

And as some pre-election polls predicted, the president-elect obtained another five points of votes in Floridawhere Democrats fought hard for a victory just two cycles ago.

Just as he improved in the battlegrounds and left-leaning states, he also made strong gains in states like Texas, Tennessee, South Carolina and Idaho. Trump posted a 3-point improvement in those four conservative states, with smaller improvements in more than a dozen others.

In fact, as of this writing, there is not a single state in the country where Trump has performed weaker than he did four years ago.

Harris’ achievements are limited to a handful of disparate areas

So far, Harris has only surpassed President Biden’s vote share in one state: Utah, where it gained 0.6 points since the last elections.

But even in utah, Trump also performed about one point better than in 2020. It is the third-party candidates who saw the most erosion. (And there are many ballots left to count).
