9. Not sure I understand

I don't know what you are looking at. I don't think anyone said that blue collar voters "flocked" to Trump. However, blue collar workers have been moving to the Republicans. When looking at the results from the recent election here in Michigan, it is clear that the higher the average income in any given county, the better the Harris/Walz ticket performed, while the lower the average income in a county, the worse the Harris/Walz ticket performed. That is a big change from the way people voted in the past.

Who exactly is "her own base of supporters" and why did they not come out and why would they never have voted for Trump? Many people who did vote for Biden and Obama and Clinton did in fact vote for Trump.

Why are vote totals "not the issue?" We are talking about election results after all.
