Early Results Show a Red Shift Across the U.S.

Of the counties with nearly complete results, more than 90 percent shifted in favor of former President Donald J. Trump in the 2024 presidential election, according to a Times analysis of election results reported as of early Wednesday.

Mr. Trump improved on his 2020 margin in 2,367 counties. His margin decreased in only 240 counties. There were 536 counties where too few votes had been counted to be included in the analysis.

Support for Mr. Trump over his three consecutive presidential runs has swayed back and forth, but early results showed that even a number of states where Vice President Kamala Harris was ahead had shifted right.

Mr. Trump appeared to improve his performance on election night among many types of counties, including ones that had supported him in past elections as well as ones that have historically leaned Democratic.
