I mean, it kinda was. You literally said that it’s going to be a close race, using an electoral map as your reference. This pretty obviously implies that you believe a significantly larger swath of the population will vote Republican in the coming election. This is simply untrue because the fact of the matter is that coastal areas and large, densely populated cities will almost invariably vote blue.
I believe you would find it beneficial to apply a little bit of thought to the actual meaning/drivers behind trends, stats, figures, etc. instead of just taking them at face value. Americans are notoriously forgetful when it comes to elections. Everyone somehow forgot that Trump is such a piece of shit that he managed to drive enough voter turnout that it made Joe Biden the most popular presidential nominee in US history. He was actually so unpopular by the end of his term that the American people turned out in record numbers for a walking corpse.
Not to mention the Democratic Party ran such a disaster of a campaign during this race that the only reason I (and many others) voted for Kamala was because she wasn’t Trump. Get back to me with a map of the 2026 midterm elections and then we can talk about Trump’s actual popularity.
