Let's see if Harris counties will get the same beneficial treatment...

In 2020 the 2,548 counties that voted for Trump accounted for 29 percent of gross domestic product, according to Brookings data. In 2024, after four years with Biden and Harris in office, the 2,553 counties that voted for Trump produced 38 percent of the gross domestic product.

That nine-point increase in the share of G.D.P. translates into $3.66 trillion worth of additional goods and services produced in Trump-voting counties, according to Brookings — an exceptional economic lift by any standard.

In addition, the share of national income going to the Trump counties grew to 43 percent from 34, and the share of private employment rose to 42 percent from 33, according to a separate data set supplied to The Times by Mark Muro, a senior fellow at Brookings.

But the blahs get everything handed to them.

Ingrates.
