In the three weeks since Kamala Harris' devastating election defeat, the Democrats have tried to come to terms with a daunting reality: Donald Trump's support grew substantially nationwide.
Even in the states that were called blue, the Republican saw a groundswell of popularity that carried him to a decisive victory in what polls suggested would be one of the closest races in history.
Trump received more than 2.5 million votes than he did in 2020 and gained ground in all of the 50 states, while Harris saw a decline of seven million votes from President Joe Biden's total in his 2020 win.
The vice president's party has been trying to figure out what happened, and the finger-pointing has sparked a furious debate that will keep going until the next presidential election cycle.
The statistics show that Harris lost some counties the Democrats have won in every presidential election since 2008.
In some cases she managed to keep some areas blue, but the loss in support represents the nationwide shift that ultimately secured the presidency for Trump.
DailyMail.com’s data journalism team has broken down the 20 counties from around the country that saw the biggest move from blue to red.
In Maverick, Texas, Harris saw 13.82 percent less support than Biden, giving Trump the first Republican victory there in five election cycles.
There are also appearances from counties in the usually safe Democratic states of New York, New Jersey and California.
n New York City, for example, Harris recorded the worst results from someone in her party since 1988.
In the Bronx, she saw a 10.73 percent drop in support compared to Biden in 2020.
The Empire State still voted for Harris, but losses elsewhere sealed her fate.
