The Most Striking and Telling Stats of the 2024 Election
How Trump won may surprise you
Welcome to The Washington Post's "The Campaign Moment," a guide to the biggest developments in the 2024 election, where the big remaining questions are how unchecked President-elect Donald Trump’s and the GOP’s power will be — and how boldly they intend to use their mandate.

He should also win his first popular vote, where he leads by more than three points.
