Blue state Democrats issue scathing reflection on election loss: ‘We’re out of touch’
The information you’re talking about refers to the 2020 presidential election where former President Donald Trump won a significant victory in Zapata County, Texas, which had been a Democratic stronghold for over 100 years. Zapata County, along the Texas border with Mexico, voted for Trump in 2020 by five percentage points, this was a considerable shift considering that in the 2016 election, the county favored Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton by a whopping 33 percentage points. The difference between the two elections marks a swing of 38 points. However, the term “76-point swing” might be the result of another calculation method or hyperbole.
