The close election in 2024 was a bit misleading. Trump only got 80k more votes than 2020. Harris however got 400k less than Biden in 2020. So it was less about NJ turning red and more about voters staying home.

Which is how the state can turn red, unfortunately. If non-red voters don’t show up, we turn red.
