Census Shift in Electoral College Map Could Make the Difference for Trump in ’24

Former President Donald Trump would be the likely beneficiary of changes in the Electoral College map from the results of the 2020 census should he face President Joe Biden next November.

The GOP gained a slight edge going into 2024 with red states such as Florida and Texas picking up Electoral College votes, while blue states such as California, New York and Illinois lost them.

Ballotpedia noted that 13 states gained or lost electoral votes following the census.

The Electoral College vote is determined by adding the number of House members to the two senators each state has.

Texas, the nation’s second most populous state, gained two additional congressional districts.
