Where did the 20M Dems Who Voted in 2020 go?
Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential bid is showing signs of an unprecedented voter exodus compared to President Biden’s historic 2020 performance.
With vote counting still underway, early data reveals a dramatic shortfall in Democratic voter turnout across multiple battlegrounds and traditionally blue strongholds.
This stunning development has left political analysts scrambling for explanations.
While President Donald Trump approaches his 2020 vote total of 74 million, Harris’ numbers tell a starkly different story.
With approximately 138 million votes counted in the 2024 cycle, the most glaring disparities are emerging from Democratic strongholds on the West Coast.
Daily Caller reported that California, the nation’s most populous state and typically a Democratic fortress, shows Harris trailing Biden’s 2020 performance by a staggering 5.5 million votes with 58 percent of precincts reporting.
The outlet further noted that even if current voting patterns hold, projections indicate Harris could fall nearly 2 million votes short of Biden’s 11-million-vote achievement in the Golden State.
The pattern repeats across the West Coast, with Harris lagging behind 2020 numbers by 800,000 votes in Washington (64 percent reporting), 400,000 in Oregon (73 percent reporting), and 500,000 in Colorado (76 percent reporting).
Even more telling are the results from states with nearly complete vote counts.
In Texas, with 99 percent of precincts reporting, Harris trails Biden’s 2020 performance by approximately 450,000 votes.
New York shows an almost 1 million vote deficit with 94 percent reporting, while Florida and Illinois each report roughly 650,000 fewer Democratic votes with 99 percent and 91 percent reporting, respectively.
The Northeast tells a similar story, Daily Caller explained.
New Jersey shows Harris half a million votes behind Biden’s numbers with 90 percent reporting. Massachusetts, despite its deep blue reputation, reports 300,000 fewer Democratic votes with 93 percent counted. Connecticut shows a 200,000-vote shortfall at 85 percent reporting.
While mail-in ballots continue to arrive in several states, particularly along the West Coast, the current deficit appears too substantial to overcome completely.
The dramatic downturn in Democratic voter turnout spans both traditional battlegrounds and reliable blue states, suggesting a broader shift in voter engagement rather than regional variations.
