The Scale of America’s Red Shift in 2024 🔴
What we’re showing
This graphic shows how votes shifted in the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections relative to the previous election. This data was accessed via The New York Times.
Key takeaways
- In the 2020 election, most types of counties shifted blue relative to the 2016 outcome.
- In 2024, every county type shifted red relative to the 2020 outcome. The biggest swings were seen in counties with large Hispanic populations, and those with a high percentage of non-white populations in general.
Significant shifts were also seen in urban counties and those with younger populations (ages 18-34).
