Biden Is Projected To Be The President-Elect. Here’s How It All Went Down.
Filed under 2020 Election
Presidential elections are always about political geography. Many of the states that we think of as solid red or blue — like Vermont, which ABC News just projected for Biden — haven’t been that way for all that long. Vermont went red fairly often before 1988, including in 1976, when Democrat Jimmy Carter had a narrow national victory. In 2001, Republican Sen. Jim Jeffords left his party, costing the GOP control of the Senate. And in 2004, it looked like New Hampshire was going to trend red while Vermont went blue. How much states that border each other vote together is my other recent obsession, so depending on how tonight goes, stay tuned for more about that. And for what it’s worth, New Hampshire seems to be trending Democratic more recently.
