Hold Up, What If...? The US Election Map That Never Was: Trump Wins 2020

Let's be honest, folks. The 2020 election was a nail-biter. Even now, some folks still aren't over it. But what if, just what if, things had shaken out differently? What if the US election map had looked a little...redder?

A Different Shade of Red: Trump's Path to Victory

Imagine this: The 2020 US election map, but with a few key states flipping. We're talking about states that were close calls, like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona. Now, let's paint those states a vibrant red.

This, my friends, is the path to a Trump victory. With those key swing states in his column, President Trump would have secured the 270 electoral votes needed for a second term.

The Numbers Game: Electoral College vs. Popular Vote

But wait, you say, didn't Biden win the popular vote? Yes, indeed. The US electoral system is a funky thing. The candidate who wins the popular vote doesn't always win the presidency. The Electoral College, with its focus on states, can sometimes lead to a different outcome.

The "What Ifs" and The "Why Nots"

Let's be real, a Trump victory in 2020 is a pretty big "what if." There are many reasons why it didn't happen, like the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic downturn, and the public's desire for change.

But hey, that's the beauty of hypotheticals! It allows us to play with different scenarios and explore the possibilities. So, the next time you see that familiar 2020 election map, take a moment to imagine a different shade of red. Maybe it'll make you think differently about the election, the Electoral College, or just the wild ride that was 2020.
