So far, Trump has 277 electoral votes while Harris sits at 224. 270 was needed to win, and Trump is expected to gain even more votes after Arizona, Nevada and Michigan finalize their results. Trump also won 51 percent of the popular vote in a stunning and shocking upset.
In Illinois, Trump was only 418,000 votes short of winning the Democratic-controlled and very blue state. In 2020, Trump lost the state by 1.25 million votes to Joe Biden, but this election was a different story where he outperformed both Harris and Biden across the board.Â
Harris proved to be a terrible candidate and Democrats will be second guessing their strategy of replacing Biden with her at the last minute. CNN anchor Jake Tapper was left stunned when shown a map on live television that Harris didn’t outperform Biden in a single county in the country.
“Holy smokes! Literally nothing? Literally not one county?”
