Kamala Harris Should Run in 2028. Trump did something no president has done since Cleveland. But Harris can do something no VP has done since Nixon.
Flipping less than 3/4 of 1% of the votes in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania would have resulted in a Kamala Harris victory on election night!
Donald Trump won the electoral college, 312 to 226.
Wisconsin (10 Electoral Votes)
1,697,626
1,668,229
-------------
Margin 29,397
Flip 14,699 votes from Trump to Harris and Harris wins Wisconsin.
Michigan (15 Electoral Votes)
2,816,636
2,736,533
-------------
Margin 80,103
Flip 40,052 votes from Trump to Harris and Harris wins Michigan.
Pennsylvania (19 Electoral Votes)
3,543,308
3,423,042
-------------
Margin 120,266
Flip 60,134 votes from Trump to Harris and Harris wins Pennsylvania.
So, flipping 114,885 votes from Harris to Trump in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania (0.723% out of 15,885,374 cast for those two candidates in those three states) would have resulted in Harris winning the presidency.
Flipping less than 3/4 of 1% of the votes in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania would have resulted in a Harris victory on election night!
That's anything but a Trump landslide.
In 1960, John Kennedy defeated Richard Nixon 303 to 219 in the Electoral College (58.05% of the EC's votes between them).
Kennedy won the popular vote, 34,220,984 to 34,108,157 (two person total of 68,329,141). That's a margin of 112,827 between them, or 0.165%. #
Trump won the electoral college, 312 to 226. That's 57.99% of the EC's votes between then, meaning that Harris did better in the Electoral College against Trump than Nixon did against Kennedy!
Trump's popular vote victory, 2,288,383 (77,297,721 to 75,009,336), was by a margin of 1.50% of the 152,307,059 votes cast for either Trump or Harris.
So while Trump did something no president has done since Grover Cleveland (losing the presidency and winning it back), Harris can do something no vice president has done since Richard Nixon (losing the general election but winning it in a subsequent election).

# Kennedy only edged Nixon in the popular vote if you consider those Alabama unpledged Democrat electors who voted for him.
