    Trump lost some voters. Kamala lost WAY more voters. Find out why 15 million voters overall didn’t vote. Or more particularly, find out why all those voters came out in 2020 and not in 2016 or 2024.

      Trump was way more unpopular then. He also told his supporters to vote day of. Voting by mail was way easier that year so people that may normally not have voted did, and Trump supporters voted election Day. He basically kneecapped himself.

      I’m convinced he would’ve be reelected had it not been for COVID.

      I would say 2020 was more the outlier then anything. Then again, that was right after 4 years of trump and you know waves hands all the crap that happened then.
