In politics, there are no permanent victories. We’ve just lived through what we were told was the most important election of our lifetimes.
We’re told that every four years and with a seeming increasing fury, but the story of American voter turnout does suggest that this election felt different—at 74 million+ votes, President Donald Trump won more voters than any other sitting president and increased his vote totals by more than 11 million from those of his shock 2016 victory. And against all apparent odds, President Joe Biden looks to have secured more than 80 million votes—securing not only the presidency, but crushing President Barack Obama’s previous high-water mark in terms of voter turnout.
Alexandra DeSanctis, Staff Writer at National Review and Visiting Fellow at EPPC, joins Tom Shakely and Noah Brandt to consider the prospect of a Joe Biden and Kamala Harris presidency, but even more importantly, the victories and takeaways from across the states, the state of the states and courts, and one election that is still to come.
