The presidential trends from Pennsylvania to Florida.

KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE

— After looking at the Midwest last week, we’re comparing the presidential voting trajectory of the bigger counties versus the rest of the state in a number of eastern states.

— Georgia had exactly opposite top and bottom halves in 2020, with a very Republican (but stable) bottom half and Democratic-trending top half driven by changes in Atlanta.

— North Carolina and Pennsylvania are mirror images on opposite sides of the political divide.

— South Carolina’s status as a red state is much more about its top half than its bottom half.
