8. 60,000 Vote Swing In Wisconsin for Trump versus US Senate Race

Nov 9

Trump beat Kamala Harris by about 30,000 Votes in Wisconsin. Tammy Baldwin won her U. S. Senate reelection race by about 30,000 votes in Wisconsin. That's a 60,000 vote swing. Most times down ballot candidates get less votes than Presidential candidates. I can't believe conservatives would vote for Trump and then turn around and vote for an openly gay candidate for Senator.
