NBC Politics Analyst Stunned By Trump’s Massive Blue State Gains

President-elect Donald Trump scored a landslide victory against former Democrat presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris that was so massive it stunned CNN data analyst Harry Enten.

The analyst has become famous during the campaign crunching numbers on CNN and has given many warnings that the Republican candidate had a strong chance of victory, though he thought it would be much closer.

When he spoke after the election even he was stunned by how massive the victory was.

“You know, I think the breadth of the improvement that Donald Trump had — Holy Toledo! All right. Trump gained ground in 49 states and the District of Columbia compared to 2020. I went back to the record books. When was the last time a party gained in so many different places? You have to go all the way back to 1992, when Bill Clinton improved upon Michael Dukakis’s performance in 49 states, plus the District of Columbia. The bottom line is, no matter where you look on the map, Kate Bolduan, no matter where you looked, Donald Trump was improving where he did four years ago except for Washington state. It is no wonder that at this particular point, he looks like he’s going to be the first Republican to win the popular vote since George W. Bush back in 2004,” the analyst said.

“And to pull that off, he gained ground where with groups that Republicans do not generally count as part of their winning coalition or really at all. How much ground did he gain?” the anchor asked.

“Again — Holy Toledo! It’s just like, oh, my goodness gracious! These are the types of groups that you would never have thought that Donald Trump would have gained so much support among eight years ago when he first won against Hillary Clinton,” the analyst said.

“Trump scores the best GOP showing among 18- to 29-year-olds in 20 years. You have to go all the way back to 2004. How about among Black voters? It was the best performance for Republican candidate for president in 48 years since Gerald Ford back in 1976. And among Hispanic voters, the exit polls only go back since 1972, but Donald Trump’s performance on Tuesday was the best for a Republican presidential candidate in exit poll history,” Enten continued.

“He literally goes all the way back to history and breaks history. This is what we’re talking about, Kate Bolduan. Groups that you never thought that Donald Trump would do well among, even for a Republican candidate, that is what he did. If the 2016 election was about Donald Trump breaking through with White working class voters, this election was about breaking through and going to that Democratic coalition and tearing it apart,” he said.
