Florida and Ohio flipped so much to the red since as well. Things can change, sure. But the past 3 cycles, those states weren't swings. 2024 even Miami-Dade county was red. The new battlegrounds are the rust belt states PA, WI, and Michigan. Minnesota and New Jersey have turned into battlegrounds as well.
Back in 2004, West Virginia being a Red state was a new thing, it was on the edge of competitiveness for Kerry. Same with Arkansas and Louisiana. On the other hand,despite John Edwards on the VP slot on the Democratic ticket, Bush carried North Carolina by ,I think, 11 or 12 points. Georgia was not competitive in any shape way or form. Bush carried Iowa by a few thousand votes, this year Trump carried it by a 13 percentage point margin. Same story with Ohio, it was a couple point race in 04, a double digit margin for Trump this year. Ditto Florida. It's very interesting to see the changes politically over the years.
@@Yuki-qh9kgwhat will be the excuse this year? There is no reason that it should take up to Friday for a state like Nevada to know the results other than their banana republic election laws that allow ballots to be counted up until Friday
What's wrong with mail-in ballots? In 2020, the Republican candidate called mail-in ballots a "hoax" and said no one should vote through them. Guess what, his supporters obeyed and refused to vote through them. In 2024, he requested to go vote through them, which is why so many Republicans voted DJT this year Not too hard to understand Hope RUclips won't delete this
@@Luke-vu3uk John Kerry. He (at least for a time) tried to refer himself as "John F. Kerry" to make it sound like he was some sort of the next Kennedy or something. Just like how Subway called themselves "Doctor's Associates" to fool customers into thinking their food is recommended/endorsed by doctors.
7:26 North Carolina (my home state) too close to call it was a sign of changing demographics but it wouldn't be enough for it to go blue, in 2008 it would go blue for Barack Obama but then switch back to red in 2012 (for Romney) , 2016 (for Trump), 2020 (for Trump).
1:25:42 Map shows G. W. Bush at 269 electoral votes. Today that would mean a long discussion on how the House of Representatives and Senate play a role in case of a tie.
1:15:28 “tie goes to the President” uhh… no Per the US Constitution In the event that no one gets a majority of the electoral votes, the new Congress decides the election outcome POTUS Decided by the House. Each state gets one vote. So CA with the largest (in 2005, they had 53 reps) gets the same number of votes as WY (one US rep, same number in 2005, same number today) At the start of the 109th Congress, Rs had majorities in at least 26 states. CT & PA went for Kerry but their congressional delegation were majority R while AR, ND, SD, TN, & WV went for W Bush but their congressional delegation is D. W Bush likely is re-elected but not because “tie goes to him” As for VP, that’s decided in the Senate. Each senator gets one vote. Rs retained senate control & increased the number of seats to 55 vs Ds 45. Cheney remains VP
The fact that Michigan and Wisconsin were not called until the very end (Wisconsin technically wasn't called at all in this video) shows that they should have never been included in the Blue Wall. Of all of the Blue Wall states, they are the only two that were never primarily composed of "elites," since both Michigan and Wisconsin are overwhelmingly working class states, both then and now. Hillary Clinton largely took those two states for granted in 2016 because they were "Blue Wall," but she found out the hard way what a mistake that was. If Democrats had realized that Michigan and Wisconsin were never actually truly safe for them and invested in them in 2016, we may be sitting here today in the final year of Hillary Clinton's 8 year presidency. It wouldn't have taken much digging to realize those two states were nowhere close to safe for the Democrats, but they went with the "Blue Wall" narrative instead and got completely embarrassed on November 8, 2016.
Well it’s mostly due to good will after 9/11. For all his faults, he was there ASAP and at ground zero in harms way, in the open, when people didn’t if another attack was right around the corner.
@@TheMelbournelad I feel like being there "ASAP" would've involved acting on the information that America was likely to be attacked, but obviously voters didn't know that at the time.
New York City was just coming off 8 years of Giuliani and Bloomberg was a Republican in his first term as mayor. Also New York State had a Republican governor during that time, George Pataki.
There are tons of areas around NYC that's republican like Staten Island. There's millions of R voters there. Bush's popularity with NYC crowds is also due to 9/11 as well. This was before his approval took a nosedive in late 2005 and never recovered.
17:49 man god damn it’s not even 20 years and hard to imagine that guy, comes in and in less than 3 years decides to give being president a go and wins. Then ages 30-40 years in the process 🤣
Georgia was the first state called in this entire election. Just 16 years later, in 2020, Georgia was the last state called.
Very True
12 years before that, it was the first state called for clinton in 1992
I thought north Carolina was.
@@dvferyanceNorth Carolina still took forever to count
They needed time for the fraud
I feel like no one talks about this election at all. This is literally the least talked about election from the 21st Century!!
I agree, I find it weird as it was a very close election
@@joseantonioamayaalvarado6744 This was an election in which the Democrats could have for the first time won due to the Electoral College.
@@monotheisticmortal5122 all Kerry needed was Ohio if I remember correctly
@@joseantonioamayaalvarado6744 That is right - he was that close to winning the presidency via EC.
and its so consequential. kerry wins in 04, no obama in 08, probably no trump in 2016
Georgia called right away.🤯
did that for the first time since 1992
And now Florida got called right away. Virginia now blue, Arizona now swing, nj and illinois now only light blue
@@siddharthsen7035New Jersey had around the same result in this election then it did in ‘24
I think W's margin in Georgia in 2004 was somewhere around 18%
It was a much more "southern" state 20 years ago than it is today.
131:08, it is so hilarious how:
A.) Lester interrupted like that.
B.) Lester Holt looked so young!

Its a crime New Mexico was not called live on MSNBC or CNN
I looked everywhere and found out it was called/certified on Nov 20
Interesting how Virginia and Colorado have flipped so much since; but Pennsylvania is now a swing state when formerly solid blue.
Florida and Ohio flipped so much to the red since as well. Things can change, sure. But the past 3 cycles, those states weren't swings. 2024 even Miami-Dade county was red.

@jasonchappina8319 Yep, people talked about FL in 2000 (for obvious reasons). But WV flipped red for the first time since 84. Bush won by about 40K.
PA, WI and MI (and also MN) were swing states in 2000 and 2004 too. But OH, IA and FL (former swing states) have moved way to the right.
I find it interesting that NBC has been using the exact same election theme since 2004.
love it though. really classy stuff
Because its really good!
They used a different theme in 2012 and 2016 and the dems got shellacked both times.
If it ain't broke, dont fix it.
WV’s transformation from blue to red continues. At the time, democrats probably outnumbered republicans 3:1 at the time.
To this day much of southern WV still has Democratic voter registration advantages.
The Democrats still held all the statewide offices that would not change until 2012.
@@williamg8269those are old fashioned democrats that never changed parties for some reasons.
Republicans hold 31 of 34 seats in the state senate, and Jim Justice is going to flip the senate seat in November. It’s a sold red state now
And believe me, you don't want to know why that used to be the case.

1:21:17 I'M Washington and this one was a very close election
Ohio & Florida were the main swing states back then. now they’re republican strongholds. crazy how demographics shift
When Colorado became a swing state.
Louisiana at 30:07: DRUGS
1:13:50 - His kids and himself watch South Park? It ain’t for kids!
1:20:27 That's typical MSNBC...
Louisiana has runoff elections, if the Republican finished under 50.00% of the vote they would have to hold another election in about a month

I suspect if Bidens approval ratings stays high, it flips in 24. But it's too early to tell for sure
@@IntellitechStudios well, 4 months later those ratings are way down
