Democrats Are Facing a Voter Registration Crisis - Over 2 Million Leave Party in Four Years

What the Democrat Party stands for nowadays besides taking the opposite position of everything Donald Trump says is largely a mystery. Besides chiming in to defend men in girls’ locker rooms or extremist abortion policies, they’ve defaulted to being the “not Trump” party for the past decade. 

Many thought that the party would undergo some self-reflection following their crushing loss in 2024, which saw Trump win every swing state, and marked the first time a Republican candidate for president won the popular vote in 20 years. 

Besides spending about a week trying to figure out how they could win back male voters (it looks like they never figured that out), the Democrats have simply doubled down on the same insanity that rebelled voters away from them in the first place. 

And in response, their party, which has long boasted higher membership nationwide than Republicans (in large part due to a sizable percentage of reliable Republican voters being registered as Independent), is on the decline while Republicans climb. 

According to Breitbart:

Fueled by President Donald Trump’s gains among men, younger voters, and Latinos in 2024, more new voters nationwide chose to be Republicans than Democrats for the first time since 2018, according to a report from the New York Times which relies on voter registration data compiled by L2, a nonpartisan data firm. Perhaps more troubling for Democrats, the data suggests Democrat Party activists can no longer rely on the party’s tried-and-true methods to reverse the trend, leaving panicked party leaders and pundits unsure how to resurrect the party’s electoral prospects.

“Of the 30 states that track voter registration by political party, Democrats lost ground to Republicans in every single one between the 2020 and 2024 elections — and often by a lot,” the report reads. “That four-year swing toward the Republicans adds up to 4.5 million voters, a deep political hole that could take years for Democrats to climb out from.”

“All told, Democrats lost about 2.1 million registered voters between the 2020 and 2024 elections in the 30 states, along with Washington, D.C., that allow people to register with a political party,” the report adds. “(In the remaining 20 states, voters do not register with a political party.) Republicans gained 2.4 million.”

Many blue states, like massive California, register voters by party while many red states, including Texas, do not, so the number of nationwide registered voters by party does not tell the full story. But in those 30 states with partisan voter registration, Democrats’ eleven-point edge over Republicans on Election Day 2020 plummeted to just over six points in 2024, an alarming trend for Democrats.

 

Nevada officially flipped red (in terms of voter registration) in February.

 

 

In the key swing state of Pennsylvania in particular, Democrats’ voter registration lead has been cut by nearly half a million.

 

And Florida has been turned so red that it’s hard to believe that it was once a swing state. 

In response, one MSNBC commentator proposed her solution; more candidates like AOC and Mamani!

They never learn - thank God for that!
