joe biden won los angeles county overwhelmingly. in terms of population, though, los angeles county would be the same size as utah, idaho, montana, wyoming, north dakota, south dakota, nebraska, roughly. if you were to combine all of those rid states, the population would be about the same as los angeles county yet obviously the number of counties, the land distribution. there is a lot more land mass, a lot more red than blue on here land versus population. that gets to the story this divide see on the county map. here s the actual number. trump won 2,574 counties, biden 539. this has become this century at least the story of our politics. in clinton in the noon 90s won a ton of counties the interior of the country. this has become the story. this by the way, what you are looking at here is you sized every state and county relative
