Between 1928 and 1988 (not including these years) every losing Democratic presidential candidate was a Midwesterner.

Guess you’re not counting losing Democratic incumbents?

Ah yes. Forgot about Carter. Let’s say candidates who never won.

The last four times Georgia has voted Democratic (1976, 1980, 1992 and 2020) have been in an election where an incumbent president was defeated.

Another Georgia factoid: It is only the sixth state in the 2000s to not be bordered by any other states which voted for the same candidate; the others are NH and NM in 2000, FL in 2008 and 2012, and MN and IL in 2016.

Joe Biden’s birth was closer to the end of the US Civil War than to his election as President.

I think that Georgia 2020 might be the first time a state has flipped, but the party who gained it did not flip any counties in that state, whereas the party who lost it did (Trump gained Burke County).

Barack Obama is the only ever major party presidential candidate born after the 1940s.
