Letter to the editor: The importance of swing states

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : Trump is the first presidential nominee to receive more than 6 million votes in three states (California,Texas and Florida).
61% : Biden holds the record for the largest number of votes garnered by a presidential candidate, with more than 81 million votes, followed by Trump, who received more than 77 million votes and Kamala Harris, who got over 75 million.
50% : That's because Trump swept the swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina and Nevada.
47% : In all seven, Harris received more votes than Biden had, but Trump still won.
31% : Yet even with his nearly 4-million-vote advantage, Biden still would have lost to Trump in 2020 if the numbers had been the same as they were this year in seven swing states.
18% : Biden would have lost to Trump in those three states by just 195,774 votes.
10% : In the recent election, Trump increase his votes from 2020 by more than 3 million, while Vice President Kamala Harris lost more than 6 million.
9% : Outgoing President Joe Biden was removed from the Democratic ticket back in July when his party finally conceded that he never stood a chance against Donald Trump.
