    I don’t buy this. In Nebraska there was an election between an independent union leader and a career politician. The union leader lost.

    The consensus seems to be that people that voted democrat in 2020 voted republican this time because they experienced inflation under Biden that think it was his fault.

      Both parties lost millions of voters since 2020. Trump lost about 2 million, Harris lost about 16 million.

      It wasn’t people switching parties, it was people not voting because Biden didn’t make a difference in their lives and Harris promised more of the same.
