Numbers - people didn't vote for her. Just didn't vote.

Voting was down by 15M votes.
Trump is still down close to 2020 by 2M (74-71)
Biden got 81M in 2020. She got 67.5M.

Senate voting was about 93M. That’s 1/3 of the seats. Not saying x3 but there’s a calculation here.
California Texas Ohio and Florida included.

What we have to do is figure out why they showed up in 2020 but not this year and then work on that.

And it’s a lot easier to vote by mail. Many people just didn’t go stand in line.

Probably close to 10M nationwide.

So ~5M less voters total than in 2020.

So you cannot compare these early totals to assess 2020 vs 2024 turnout yet. I think ultimately it is that the white male America is is still misogynistic and racist
