All it took was (b) shifting a couple % points to tip the scales in places like Detroit, Milwaukee, and Philly.
Also, there's evidence that in places like Michigan, Wisconsin, or Arizona where Trump won but the Democrats won the Senate/House races - many voters showed up, checked the Trump box and left. No idea who these people are but it's going to make the 2026 midterms real nuts because they will stay home without Trump on the ballot.
I am coming to the conclusion that:
a) Rich Places got marginally more Blue
b) Not Rich Blue Places got more Red
c) Not Rich Red Places stayed Red
