A 2022 Midterm Election Silver Lining?

In 2020, Joe Biden won the popular vote by more than seven million, garnering 81 million ballots compared to Donald Trump’s 74 million.

Yet this year, Republicans beat Democrats in the total vote for the U.S. House.

GOP candidates received 52,142,213 votes (as of November 13), while Democratic candidates received just 47,127,174.

That’s a gap of five million.

In other words, the margin for the GOP shifted from minus seven million in 2020 to plus five million in 2022.

That’s a margin-shift of 12 million votes.
