Anyway this is very close given they won the same amount of EV , but I will say Biden since the PV margin difference between 16 and 20 was larger than the difference in the tipping point state. Id say this is how id rank wins this century :


1. 2008
2. 2012
3. 2004
4. 2020
5. 2016(though its very close to number 4)
6. 2000

How out of touch with reality are the Republicans who voted Trump's 2016 victory was larger? 

Trump had the same electoral count as Biden, won that with a few states Hillary didn't even campaign in, and lost the popular vote by around 3 million. 

Biden won the same electoral vote, won states in all 4 major regions of the country, and won the popular vote by 7 million in a higher turnout election.  All of this against a sitting incumbent.  The answer is obvious. 

Pennslyvania is considered a North Eastern state not a Midwestern one .

Where did I say otherwise?

Again, Biden won states in all 4 major regions of the country. 


Implying Trump didn’t

Trump won nothing on the west coast.

And even to the extent you consider "Arizona" the west that's 1 state.  Trump only won PA + ME-2 in the Northeast. 

On the other hand, Biden won multiple states in all of the major regions.  He won almost everything in the Northeast + West.  He won multiple Southern States.  He split the Midwest.  His victory was clearly more sweeping in terms of regions of the country. 

The west includes the Mountain West + Pacific Coast.

If you want to include South Dakota in there to make Trump's win feel more widespread, fine.  It doesn't make Trump's win impressive.
