Historic: CNN’s Election Numbers Show How Dominant Trump’s Win Really Was

The article discusses the significant election victory of Donald Trump, ⁤highlighting a remarkable shift in demographics supporting the Republican ⁣party. According to CNN analyst Harry Enten, Trump’s win is reminiscent‌ of Bill‌ Clinton’s success in 1992, as Trump improved his performance across 49 states plus the District of Columbia.

Key⁢ points noted include:

1. Trump gained support among young voters, Black voters, and Hispanic voters, demographics that traditionally lean‌ Democratic.

2. The Republican party achieved its best performance ​with ⁣younger voters in two decades and among Black voters in nearly half a century.

3. Republicans seem poised to take control of both the Senate and House, with projections indicating a ‍potential majority increasing to​ 53 seats.

4. Trump’s victory signifies a potential return to Republican‌ dominance in both Congress and the White⁢ House, with predictions that he may secure‌ the popular vote for ‍the first time‌ since George W. ​Bush in 2004.

The article concludes with commentary on the implications of‍ the election results for the Democratic party, suggesting a need for introspection and accountability.


As the numbers from Tuesday’s election get clearer, the dominance of Donald Trump’s victory gets clearer, too.

CNN data guru Harry Enten laid out the details Friday on “CNN News Central,” highlighting the generational significance of the election’s Republican romp.

“When was the last time a party gained in so many different places?” Enten said. “You have to go all the way to back to nineteen hundred and ninety-two, when Bill Clinton improved on Michael Dukakis’ performance in 49 states, plus the District of Columbia.”

And it wasn’t just the number of votes Trump attracted, but the voters they came from.

The winning GOP nominee gained among young voters, black voters and Hispanic voters. Those are Americans, as host Kate Balduan noted, “that Republicans do not generally count as part of their winning coalition.”

Enten was bowled over by the results.

“Holy Toledo!” he said.

“Oh my goodness gracious, these are the types of groups you never would’ve thought that Donald Trump would’ve gained so much support among eight years ago when he first won against Hillary Clinton.”

And those results are going to have real-world consequences.

On Tuesday night, it was clear that Republicans had won control of the Senate in the upcoming Congress. The only question is the size of their majority. With counting going on still in three states, as The New York Times reported Friday, the GOP has 52 seats.

However, The Associated Press has called the Pennsylvania Senate race in favor of Republican Dave McCormick, so that majority is likely 53 seats.

The Senate races in Arizona and Nevada are still out, but leaning Democratic, according to the Times.

In the House, as The Hill reported Saturday, there are not enough official results yet, but Republicans appear to be on track to maintain control, meaning House Speaker Mike Johnson would keep the gavel.

If that holds, it means Trump’s victory on Tuesday has put Republicans in charge of the White House and Congress.

And Enten’s social media followers got the message:


“The bottom line is, no matter where you looked on the map … no matter where you looked, Donald Trump was improving on where he did four years ago, except for Washington state,” Enten said.

“It is no wonder that at this particular point, he looks like he’s going to be the first Republican to win the popular vote since George W. Bush back in 2004.”
