Unavailable due to copyright complaint. So here's a summary in my own words:
Trump loses by only 3%, less than Robert Kennedy's vote total. In 2020, Biden beat Trump by 14 points; in 2016, Clinton won by 47 points; Obama won by 48 and 24 points.
Republican Jim Moylan re-elected to US House of Representatives as delegate.
The Republicans picked up the Guam legislature, now with nine legislators to the Democrat's six.

There probably were local issues that differed from 4 years ago.
Also let me ask the stupid question:
How many electoral votes did we win?
Territories like Guam get to have delegates at the Democrat and Republican conventions but they have zero electoral votes.
Sorry. Should’ve been clear: Zero in the Electoral College. We retained a delegate seat in the US House of Representatives.
Thanks—data is good.
Good news data is better.
:-)
I’m always amazed when one party wins the house or senate, but the opposite party wins the presidency.
How does that happen? Who says “I’m voting Republican for my representative, but I’m voting Democrat for President”?
As a rule, the people trust neither political party, so they prefer divided government to assure gridlock.
Not hard to fathom! The repub (or Rat!) congresscritter brings in the pork and I the voter think I benefit.
And beats 2016 as Hillary in this poll was up 50 points.
Some people have an “even Stephen” sort of mindset. I don’t understand it either but it’s a real thing.
Guam is Hawaii’s poorer and slightly dumber cousin. If Guam can be turned by that much despite a Trump loss there, the swing states are Trump’s.
Got to like the trendline: -47 to -14 to -3. VP Vance should take it to positive territory in 2028. Although a victory here and a couple of dollars will get you a coffee at a convenience store.
Hadt Guam tipped over yet?
I hope this will be called early for Trump.
Agree, 100%
Yes, Guam has tipped over at least FIVE times, since this news was first reported, on FR! 😂
Also, due to population movements (escape from liberal destruction) Harris starts the night needing 3 more electoral votes than Biden did.
Looked at the numbers from the Guam website. If the votes that went to RFK Jr. Had gone to Trump, he would have been ahead of Harris. Too bad Jr. didn’t get off the ballot there.
Who says “I’m voting Republican for my representative, but I’m voting Democrat for President”?
Well informed moderates, typically. By well-informed I mean they know the individuals involved well and know what to expect from them.
