There are 3,141 counties in the United States. 3,053 voted for the same party in the last two elections.
Trump flipped 88 counties this year.
Harris flipped 0.
He flipped 54 counties that had previously voted for both Clinton and Biden, and flipped back 34 counties that had voted for him in 2016 but switched to Biden in 2020. Every single county Kamala won, Biden also won in 2020.
The last time a candidate flipped no counties was nearly 100 years ago in the midst of the Great Depression, where Herbert Hoover failed to flip a single county red from blue in 1932. Even in the infamous 1984 landslide where Reagan won 49 states, a few red counties still flipped to Mondale.
Nearly a third of flipped counties were also longstanding Democratic strongholds, spanning decades of solid blue elections. While not impossible, like Maricopa County going to Biden in 2020, the scale of the flips in 2024 leans towards improbable.
