Trump, after all the votes get counted - particularly California - ends up beating his overall votes from both 2016 (63 million) and 2020 (74 million),with about 76 million votes.
Not only do the democrats see their total votes drop from 81 million to 70ish million, but that translates into a drop of voter share from 51.3% to 48ish%.
