Deep-blue states led the country with double-digit pro-Trump shifts

President-elect Donald Trump didn’t just win the 2024 election, he caused some serious disruption in deep-blue bastions as well.

Cook Political Report Senior Editor and Elections Analyst Dave Wasserman found that New York experienced an 11.5% pro-Trump swing, while New Jersey saw a 10.1% movement toward the Republican compared to his 2020 numbers.

These were the top two states that saw pro-Trump voting swings, but other states include Florida (9.8%), Massachusetts (8.7%), California (8.4%), Texas (8.3%), Mississippi (7.7%), Rhode Island (7.0%), Tennessee (6.5%) and Illinois (6.4%).
