My new favorite map shows how Trump redrew our political boundaries


President Trump hasn't just rewritten the political rule book; he has also redrawn the political map. Luckily, a new map put together by The Washington Post's graphics team shows it better than just about anything we've seen to date. Inside Dan Balz's big, must-read piece on the Midwest's relationship with Trump is a map that shows the last time each Trump county voted Republican in a presidential race. Only five Trump counties in Michigan broke streaks dating back further than George W. Bush's reelection in 2004. (At the same time, Minnesota also saw the inverse Trump effect — suburban counties swinging against Trump — which is why he lost.)
