WI trended left in '24? From 20,682D in '20 to 29,937R in '24 is trending left? How so?

Trend is always relative to the nation. WI only moved right 1.5 points while the nation moved 6 points to the right.

Despite the loss Wisconsin moving left relative to the country was one of the few nice surprises from that awful night. Would've not predicted that.

OK, but...no.

Trended less right, yes.

Trended left, no.

A 50,000 vote move to the right is in no sense a trend to the left.

an unnecessary quibble; the off year election will be a different electoral universe of voters than the Presidential anyways; if Trump is as bad as advertised, the Democratic party will win almost all marginal races(with normal candidates running)

ThatтАЩs a weird way to look at trends but okay. It voted more Republican than last time but less so than the nation so it trended left. I mean, based off the results from 2020 to 2024, the state went more Republican but okay.
