Trump didn’t win any blue states but he dramatically closed the gap in many of the bluest.

Here are five that got a little purpler in Tuesday’s election. Look at how much progress Trump made in slicing into the giant leads in Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Maryland, New Jersey and New York.

• • • Illinois — Harris beat Trump by more than 8 points. Biden defeated Trump by nearly 17 points in 2020.
    • New Jersey — Harris won by about 5 points. Biden won by nearly 16 points in 2020.
    • New York — Harris won by less than 12 points. Biden won by more than 23 points in 2020.
    • Connecticut — Harris won  by 13 points. Biden won by 20 points in 2020.
    • Maryland — Harris won by 23 points. Biden won by 33 points in 2020.

We don’t have the final results yet from the three far-left states on the West Coast: California, Oregon, and Washington, so those should be regarded as in progress. (Why is it taking so long?) But based on results so far, here is the 50-state ranked table of the vote share move towards Trump from 2020 to 2024.
