Literally talking about the group of voters, the older ones among them saved Biden’s flailing 2020 primary campaign, and most of them came out in the general again in large numbers for him and Harrison.

Yet 4 years later, a 10pt margin means about 10% or more supposedly most loyal D voters just sat out.

I figured lethargic black turnout was perhaps the biggest issue as to why Trump had the best showing in South Carolina since George W. Bush in 1988....with the same probably true in Mississippi as well. On the other hand, I seem to recall reading that South Carolina was the only state to get "more white" during the last census.

I think SC and FL are the two with a significant increase of non Hispanic White population. Given FL is much larger and diverse, not surprised SC is the only one getting Whiter.
