In case people missed it - California shifted to the right as well

47. I think you are correct, however,

I also think that too many voters were mis- and un-informed bc of the media. RW media portrayed Harris as a vacuous idiot and only offered clips of Trump's speeches. MSM normalized Trump and ignored the Biden/Harris accomplishments.

WaPo had a quiz about the issues sometime last week. No mention of party, just the issues. Of course, people overwhelmingly aligned with Democrats on the issues.

Now, in the aftermath, we are hearing about young women college students who voted for Trump because he "said" he wouldn't have a national abortion ban. Or people who voted for him bc of tariffs who are now finding out what they actually are.

In '22 here in FL, the youth vote was horribly low. Then, when DeSantis enacted his 6-week abortion ban, young women were horrified. They hadn't voted, though. They didn't see the connection.
