In 2016, we wrote that the 2,584 counties that Trump won generated just 36% of the country’s economic output, whereas the 472 counties Hillary Clinton carried equated to almost two-thirds of the nation’s aggregate economy.
A similar analysis for last week’s election shows these trends continuing, albeit with a different political outcome. This time, Biden’s winning base in 509 counties encompasses fully 71% of America’s economic activity, while Trump’s losing base of 2,547 counties represents just 29% of the economy.

so rich people are more important?
you’re right, ten years ago, the gop was the party of the wealthy tycoons. that changed very, very rapidly.
you guys go on and on about the evils of rich people, now you’re saying they’re more important, or trustworthy, or their values are what matters?
i’m very, very comfortable being on the side of the regular guy. you can have the elites, Pete. i’d rather hang out with a fireman or an electrician than a tech tycoon or a college sociology professor.
Yeah, you really have me on the ropes with that statistic.
based on your post, can we stop spreading the myth that the democrats are the party of the little guy?
we have wayne and GS saying the gop only cares about the rich, now you’re criticizing the gop because the democrats have the rich people under their tent.
talk about wanting to have it both ways!
