2022 Elizabeth Warren/Kamala Harris (D) midterm

GOV:

SEN:

Democratic Party: 56 (+1)
Republican Party: 44 (-1)

HOUSE:  R+32 (D214, R221)

Very unpopular in the midwest? I'd like to see what the 2020 map looked like.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

Maybe not very unpopular, but the Midwest is the most elastic region of the country and Democrats have a high floor in states like GA and FL, so a possible backlash/underperformance would be more concentrated in states like OH, IA, PA, etc. Most of it is just because the Democrats overperformed so much in 2018.

2020:

Elizabeth Warren/Kamala Harris - 335 EV, 52.4%
Donald Trump/Mike Pence - 203 EV, 45.7%

Georgia voting to the left of North Carolina seems a bit odd.

[Sirius_]

Decided to give an independent candidate 538 votes just for the lolz.

The result of a future realignment. Democrats are technocratic proponents of a mixed economy system, but reject socialism or redistribution. Republicans resemble paeloconservatives. Signs of the old order exist: Democrats are statistically likely to be a few shades darker than Republicans, DC is still safe D and the upper southern states are still more Republican.

Cities that were once strongly R, now strongly D: St. Georges UT, Yuma-Bullhead City-Flagstaff AZ, Carson City, Pueblo and Colorado Springs CO, Ft. Meyers FL. Boise isn't ultra safe D but does swing that way.

Cities that were once strongly D, now strongly R: Seattle WA and all suburbs and neighbors thereof, Portland-Astoria OR, anywhere in Alaska that was ever D, Great Lakes metros that were trending R as early as the 2010s. Hamilton County OH now regularly votes left of Cuyahoga. The Twin Cities metro in MN is reasonably competitive.  Madison WI isn't exactly conservative, but it's a city that's seen better days.

2012:

Can you give us a hint as to what this is?

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

1936 if Huey Long had run as a third party. He carries the Deep South and causes Roosevelt to narrowly lose Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Kansas, but otherwise only slightly dampens FDR's still massive landslide.

307-224 GOP

1912 election. Moderately progressive Republican incumbent defeats a Democratic candidate always flip flopping between prairie populism and business. The Democrat was rumored to be a secret member of the Mormon church, considered a cult by the GOP campaign.

Virginia should be (Atlas) red here. it was definitely a part of the Solid South around this time period even if the margins were a bit smaller than in the deepest parts of Dixie.

He's pretty obviously just using a reversed 2012 map and attempting to explain it a hundred years prior.
