    Trump had over 50% in almost all states he won. 3rd party vote isn’t the reason we’re in this predicament.

      The person you’re replying to also said “non voters” which was definitely a significant chunk of people compared to 2020’s voter turnout

        Didn’t make a difference in the swing states they had record breaking turns outs. The drop in votes came in other states that were deicided already settled

          I looked it up, and the difference in the voting numbers are close for each swing state when you compare the results from 2020 and 2024. Another factor is that there are more eligible voters in each state so voter turnout was still less as a percentage when you factor in population growth
