Democrats Defy Odds, Secure Senate Wins in Trump States
TL;DR Summary
The 2024 election saw a notable increase in split-ticket voting, with Democrats winning Senate seats in states carried by Donald Trump, such as Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin. This trend marks a shift from previous elections where states typically voted for the same party in both presidential and Senate races. Despite the increase in split-ticket outcomes, the correlation between presidential and Senate race margins remains high, indicating that most voters still align with one party. Factors like incumbency and candidate quality contributed to Democrats' success in these close races.
