Mind-boggling graph shows how eight million Democratic voters ‘disappeared’

Of all the embarrassing failures Kamala Harris has suffered at the ballot box — including the exodus of Hispanic, Black, Asian and young voters — there is perhaps one that haunts her most.

The popular vote, shown in the staggering chart below, shows that more than 8 million Americans who voted for Biden in 2020 simply disappeared because they refused to support the Democratic nominee in 2024.

Biden won 81 million votes, compared to Harris’ 73 million.

Harris supporters may try to dismiss this decline as a result of lower turnout in the 2024 elections. But turnout is expected to be only two points lower: 65 percent compared to 67 percent in 2020.

Harris is ten points behind Biden’s numbers (with 97 percent of the total votes counted at the time of writing).

Donald Trump, on the other hand, increased his numbers this time by more than a million votes, beating Harris by a margin of 3 million.

He became the first Republican presidential candidate in twenty years to win the popular vote.

Even Hillary Clinton, one of the most unpopular presidential candidates of the past fifty years, managed to defeat Trump with raw votes in 2016.

How exactly Harris suffered such a catastrophic defeat is still being dissected by political pundits.

But the popular vote numbers show in the starkest terms that Americans across all demographics have rejected her.

Asian, black, Hispanic and young voters all shifted to Trump. Asian voters turned 19 points toward Trump, with Hispanic support up 18 points and among black voters up 10 points.

There was a 14-point rise among voters under 30 for Trump – and in total humiliation for Harris, a seven-point rise for the Republican Party among female voters in that age group.

Female voters under the age of 24 were even more opposed to Harris, with Trump gaining 11 points in this demographic group compared to 2020.

Trump’s huge rally among young women has helped win over more voters under 30 than any Republican candidate since 2008.

Clinton had a 19-point lead among under-30s when she ran against Trump in 2016, Biden widened that gap to 25 points – but under Harris that margin shrank to just 6 points.

Trump ran an exceptional campaign that focused on the economy and immigration.

Thirty-two percent of voters said the economy was their biggest concern — and of that number, 80 percent supported Trump, according to exit polls from Edison Research.

Another 11 percent of voters said they cared most about immigration, while Trump earned 90 percent of their votes.

Harris failed to address these issues and her campaign strategy appeared to focus on abortion rights and Trump’s “threat to democracy.”

Only 14 percent of voters said abortion was their biggest problem; Harris took 74 percent of their ballots.

Thirty-four percent cited the “state of democracy” as their top concern; 80 percent of them supported Harris.
