This is incredible if true. The source doesn’t appear to be a Trump fan, but they did analyze the 2024 election, and they found that Kamala Harris didn’t flip a single county. Meanwhile, President-elect Donald J. Trump was able to flip 54 (or 55).

In 2024, Kamala Harris didn’t win a single county Trump carried in 2020. This is notable to the 1932 election where incumbent President Herbert Hoover failed to flip any counties that had supported his opponent in the prior election. Meanwhile, Trump won close to 3 million more…

The math gurus can investigate further to determine whether this is accurate, but other metrics prove Kamala Harris was likely the worst Democratic presidential candidate in at least a generation. The Obama coalition that ushered in a historic presidency, along with robust Democratic congressional majorities, has collapsed. At least 80 percent of all American counties shifted toward Trump and the Republicans. The only area that saw another swing to the Left was Washington state.

That must make Democrats scream. Not winning a single swing state also confirms the ‘bad candidate’ vibes with Harris. Still, if she didn’t flip a single county that Trump carried in 2020, being associated with Herbert Hoover wouldn’t necessarily be the best historical footnote regarding national elections.
