Not sure if this is legit but a coworker said 20 million Democrats didn't vote. That's depressing knowing if they had voted Dem, Kamala most likely would've won.
It's close to that. Another metric is 15 million fewer people voted Kamala than Biden last election. Trumps numbers stayed the same.

Trump's numbers didn't stay the same. Despite winning the popular vote, Donald trump had 2 million less voters than in 2020. That's a hefty chunk.
