2. If true, that's a huge shift.

More than 77 million people cast votes for Donald Trump in 2024. If it's true that 10% now regret their votes, that's almost 8 million people who no longer support him.

Harris would have won by nearly 7 million votes. Assuming this change of heart is consistent across states, Harris would have won every single "swing state" and all the states Trump flipped. It would have been an electoral college and popular vote landslide for Harris.

And it's only been 100 days.

So the challenge before us is: how do we convince all those voters to get out and vote for Democrats in every future election?

My math may be off, but I wasn't assuming they would switch to Harris. yardwork May 2 #9
