Tough call. Trump probably defied expectations more, but Kerry came closer to actually winning in only needing Ohio.
2020 was closer than 2004 both in terms of the raw number of votes and in terms of the percentage margins. Bush won Ohio by a very comfortable margin still. 2020 was closer in terms of the tipping point % margin than every election going back to 1916 except for 2000.
