Statistical Proof on How Trump Divided the U.S.A...Senate Elections 2020

Hit link and see results of November's Senate Elections. In terms of numbers, the closest race was Alaska........45,000 was as close as it got in terms of numbers......

In terms of percent...North Carolina was the closest in terms of percent: 48.7 to 46.9...
.Yes that was close, in terms of percent, but the difference in the outcome was close to a million votes...

Usually, we have at least one or two senate seats with a 10,000 vote difference and a recount is needed. Not this time, because, in my opinion the U.S.A. has become far more divided than in the past.
This is NOT good because that division is the exact opposite of bringing the nation together to
solve any of our problems. Cooperation is a key to solutions, and division is what that link proves.

And we all know who fostered and encouraged this division, Donald Trump.
That division is a very bad result of his presidency.
It is the exact opposite of what a President of the U.S.A. is supposed to do. As said before,
a president is supposed to bring us together, not divide us. Final Note: I looked at all the states at the link, and found no close elections. (Alaska was the closest that I found.) If there was one closer, I missed it. Sorry for any errors.

Hit this link to see election results that prove there were no close senate elections last month..:

Don't very close elections demonstrate even divides ? rickford66 Dec 2020 #1
Wide margins show that the differences are strong and that the two sides cannot work Stuart G Dec 2020 #2
If the country is evenly split, there will be more 50/50 elections. rickford66 Dec 2020 #3

together. Also,wider the margin, the less likely the two sides are to come to come together.
(This is my opinion only,) As states in the union move in total opposition to each other, (sort of what the election numbers show) that is not good for us. Looking at the numbers results finds a large difference between the north vs the south, east vs south, etc. Texas is very strongly Republican, and Minnesota is strongly Democratic as is Illinois.

....The country's attitude towards our fellow Americans is less not united in this way. I guess that is my opinion on this

That's just logic. A 90/10 election would show more consensus in the general population for one or the other party.
