24. The voters needed to win seats for the Rs only vote
Thu Jan 28, 2021, 09:56 PM
Jan 2021

when Trump himself is on the ballot. Trumpism itself doesn't appeal to a significant majority of Americans. You can see that by how candidates who run on it consistently lose. The latest example being the two senate seats in GA. Despite both Perdue and Loeffler aligning themselves with Trump and his endorsement, turnout was lower in GOP strongholds while nearly the same as Nove turnout in Dem areas.
