There was a roughly 100-day sprint of a campaign between him and Harris, with polling in seven key battleground states showing very little separation between the two candidates right up until Election Day.
Ultimately, Trump won a convincing victory.
He flipped Georgia back into his column, holding North Carolina and shattering the “blue wall.”
