Trump’s margin of victory over Vice President Kamala Harris was 33,000 votes; It was a razor-thin margin in the crucial blue wall state, which has flipped red in two of the last three presidential elections.

Trump performed better in nearly every Wisconsin county he carried compared to 2020.

He received 70% of the vote in rural, red-leaning counties like Florence and Oconto in northeastern Wisconsin; smaller vote totals led to big gains after hours.

Trump received more votes in blue counties like Dane and Milwaukee than he did four years ago.

The former president became the first Republican since Ronald Reagan to win Wisconsin twice. Reagan was re-elected nearly 40 years ago.

Trump ran up the score in red counties, building a lead of more than 100,000 votes over Harris; this was enough to withstand the “Milwaukee swing”.

The change came as 108,000 early votes from Milwaukee were finally counted and added to Central Count’s statewide tallies at 4:30 a.m.

In 2020, Milwaukee’s absentee votes, which took longer to count, helped swing the election to Joe Biden by a 20,000-vote margin of victory.

This year, Milwaukee’s results also helped swing the U.S. Senate race in Tammy Baldwin’s favor on Wednesday morning.

Baldwin eventually won by less than 26,000 votes, overcoming his Republican opponent Eric Hovde’s 50,000 vote lead.

Wisconsin broke the record for vote total: 3,414,027. Harris received more votes than President Joe Biden, but her share of the vote was slightly lower in nearly every county she carried except Door County.

Was there a Liz Cheney influence on Harris? The former Republican congressman held two campaign events with the Democratic presidential candidate in Wisconsin, hoping to win over “disaffected” Republicans.

Harris did slightly better than Biden in red-leaning WOW counties like Washington, Waukesha and Ozaukee, but the margin wasn’t enough to give her a statewide advantage.
