Revision as of 02:55, 12 November 2022

The 2022 United States elections were a set of elections that were primarily (with the exception of absentee balloting) held on November 8, 2022. During this midterm election year, all 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the U.S. Senate were contested. Thirty-nine state and territorial gubernatorial elections, as well as numerous other state and local elections, were contested. The results will determine the 118th United States Congress. This was the first election affected by the 2022 U.S. redistricting that followed the 2020 U.S. census.^[1] A predicted red wave, named after the color of the Republican Party, did not materialize and the race for U.S. Congress control has been closer than expected.^[2]^[3]^[4]

While midterm elections often see the president's party lose a significant number of seats in Congress,^[5] preliminary results instead saw Democratic Party candidates dramatically overperform these historical trends,^[6]^[7]^[8] making this the best performance for the president's party since the 1950 U.S. midterm elections.^[1] Meanwhile, Republican Party candidates that were backed by Donald Trump or that denied the results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election underperformed compared to election analysts' predictions of a more Republican-leaning national environment and Republican expectations.^[1]^[2] Both general turnout and among young voters (18–29) was the second highest (after 2018) of any midterm since 1970.^[9]^[10]

Issues that favored Democrats included significant concern over extremism and respect for democratic norms among Republicans, abortion rights, and a potential Trump and Desaints 2024 election campaign.^[3]^[4]^[11] The elections continued trends starting in 2012, in which Republicans made gains among the working-class, especially whites and since 2016 also working-class minorities like Hispanics,^[12] while Democrats continued to improve among affluent and college-educated whites.^[2]

Six referendums to preserve or expand abortion access uniformly won,^[13]^[14] including in the states of Kansas,^[a] Kentucky, Michigan, and Montana,^[15] as did those increasing the minimum wage (Nebraska and Nevada) and expanding Medicaid coverage (South Dakota).^[1] In other elections, Democrats gained full control of government in Michigan and Minnesota.^[16] Democrats made further gains in the 2022 U.S. gubernatorial elections (Maryland and Massachusetts),^[17] while Republicans did particularly well in Florida.^[2]^[11]^[18]

Campaign

Primaries

In 2022, Democratic campaign arms aided radical-right candidates in Republican primary elections, believing they would be easier opponents in the general election.^[19]^[20] Republican primary candidates who had been endorsed by former president Donald Trump tended to win with his support being crucial for many.^[21]^[22] Progressives within the Democratic Party saw mixed results, with both progressives and moderates winning important races.^[23]^[24]^[25]

Issues

Economy

Voters suffered from historically high consumer prices, gas prices, and interest rates, which Republicans blamed on President Biden's and Democratic policies.^[26] The economy remained the top issue for voters throughout 2022.^[27]^[28]

Abortion

Following the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, Democrats outperformed Biden's results in the 2020 U.S. presidential election in several House special elections, with abortion cited as a major contributor to their victories.^[29]^[30] The Dobbs ruling made abortion more important for voters,^[26] with a rise in support among women for the Democratic Party coming after the decision.^[31] At least six states have an abortion-related ballot initiative, the most ever in a single year.^[32]

Crime and gun violence

Mass shootings made gun violence and crime more important issues for voters.^[33] The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which passed in June 2022, provided extended gun-safety laws and was touted by Biden and Democrats.^[34] Despite this, Republicans maintained a lead among voters who cite crime as a major issue.^[35]^[36] Republicans blamed the increase in violent crime and homicides in 2020 and 2021 on progressives and liberals and attempts to "defund the police", a slogan supported by racial justice protesters but eventually rejected by Biden. Democrats pushed for stricter gun laws, including a ban on assault weapons, while Republicans sought to protect legal access to guns and the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.^[37]

Democracy

Democrats said that Trumpist supporters have grown increasingly authoritarian or "semi-fascist" as Biden had called them, since Trump continues to contest the results of the 2020 presidential election.^[37] Democrats also said that Republicans regaining power would harm U.S. governance, citing the many Republican candidates who denied the results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election.^[37]

The Democratic Party filed lawsuits to remove Green Party candidates from the ballot, most notably the North Carolina Green Party candidate Matthew Hoh in the 2022 United States Senate election in North Carolina,^[38]^[39]^[40] citing an ongoing investigation into the party for fraudulant signatures.^[41] Their warning that the Greens could divide progressive voters and give Republicans wins in tight races nonetheless received widespread criticism,^[42] and Hoh appeared on the ballott.^[43]

Education

Republicans argued for parents having more control over what their children are taught in schools, being concerned in particular with race, gender identity, and sexuality being discussed.^[37] Democrats dismissed these concerns as a push for censorship, saying that it will harm LGBT students in particular.^[37] At least 20 Republican candidates promulgated the litter boxes in schools hoax, which emerged largely as backlash against recognition of gender variance in schools.^[44]^[45]

House minority leader Kevin McCarthy vowed to "recover lost learning from school closures" during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.^[37]

Climate change

Progressive Democrats pushed for legislation to combat the negative effects of climate change, including incentives towards the adoption of renewable energy and electric cars.^[37]

Immigration

An increase of over 385% in border encounters from 2020 to 2022 gave Republicans an edge over Democrats as polling tends to show voters moderately prefer Republicans over Democrats for solving immigration problems.^[46]^[47]^[48] In a political stunt, Florida governor Ron DeSantis had migrants sent to Martha's Vineyard.^[49]^[50]^[51]

Student loan forgiveness

Since Biden revealed a plan for student loan forgiveness, both parties sought electoral gains from the decision, with Republicans targeting blue-collar workers and Democrats potentially attracting young voters.^[52] A majority of voters were found to support student loan forgiveness in the run-up to the election.^[53]^[54]

Presidency of Joe Biden

Republicans were benefiting from Biden's low U.S. presidential approval ratings, hovering from 30–40% for much of the year.^[26] His ratings briefly increased after several legislative victories in August and September 2022;^[55] by October, they again plateaued when voters focused back on the state of the economy.^[56]^[57]

Russian invasion of Ukraine

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is the major foreign policy issue, shifting support for Biden and highlighting the Republican Party's perceived support for Russia.^[58]^[59] One day before election day, Russian entrepreneur Yevgeny Prigozhin, who was in the center of accusations of hidden propaganda activities by the Russian government, in regard to Russian interference in U.S. elections, wrote on Vkontakte: "We have interfered, we are interfering and we will continue to interfere."^[60]

Campaign spending

With a total of almost 17 billion U.S. dollars in expenditure, the election campaigns for the 2022 midterm elections were the most expensive in the history of the United States.^[61]

Federal elections

Senate elections

Control of Senate seats by class after the 2022 elections

1	21	2	10	0	2024
2	13	0	20	0	2026
3	11	0	19	3^[b]	2028
Total	44	2	49	3	—

Thirty-five of the 100 seats in the U.S. Senate were up for election, including all 34 Class 3 Senator seats. Concurrent with the regularly-scheduled Class 3 elections, a special election was held to fill a Class 2 vacancy in Oklahoma. As senators serve six-year terms, the last regularly scheduled elections for Class 3 senators were held in 2016. The winners of the Senate elections will be sworn in on January 3, 2023, for the 118th U.S. Congress. Going into the election, Democrats and Republicans both held 50 seats, but Democrats had a majority due to their control of the U.S. vice presidency, which has the power to break ties in the Senate. In the Senate elections, Republicans defended 21 seats, including six seats left open by retirements. Democrats defended fourteen seats, one of which was an open seat.^[1]

Special elections

Two special elections took place in 2022 to replace senators who resigned during the 117th U.S. Congress:

California Class 3: Incumbent Kamala Harris was elected as Vice President of the United States and resigned on January 18, 2021, to take office also as the ex officio President of the Senate.^[62] Governor Gavin Newsom used his power to appoint the secretary of state of California, Alex Padilla, to succeed her. A special election to fill the remaining weeks of Harris's tenure was held on November 8, 2022, the same day as the regular election for a six-year term, as a writ proclaimed by Newsom.^[63]^[64] Padilla won both the special election and the regularly-scheduled election.^[65]
Oklahoma Class 2: Incumbent Jim Inhofe announced in February 2022 that he would resign from the Senate at the end of the 117th Congress on January 3, 2023. A special election to fill the remaining four years of his term was held on November 8, 2022, concurrently with the regular election for the Class 3 seat, held by James Lankford.^[66] Republican Congressman Markwayne Mullin won the special election to fill the remainder of Inhofe's term.^[67]

House of Representatives elections

All 435 voting seats in the U.S. House of Representatives were up for election. Fourty-nine representatives and one non-voting delegate (30 Democrats, 20 Republicans) did not seek re-election, and three seats were vacant at the time of the election. The incumbents in the 2022 elections were determined in the 2020 U.S. House of Representatives elections and subsequent special elections. These elections were the first conducted after the 2020 U.S. redistricting cycle, causing several districts to lack an incumbent or have multiple incumbents. Democrats held a 220–212 majority at the time of the election.^[68]

Special elections

Nine special elections were held in 2022:

Florida's 20th congressional district: Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick defeated Republican Jason Mariner to succeed Democrat Alcee Hastings, who died on April 6, 2021, from pancreatic cancer.^[69]^[70]^[71] The district has a partisan index of D+28.^[72]
California's 22nd congressional district: Republican Connie Conway defeated Democrat Lourin Hubbard in a runoff to succeed Republican Devin Nunes, who resigned on January 1, 2022, to become CEO of the Trump Media & Technology Group.^[73]^[74] The district has a partisan index of R+6.^[72]
Texas's 34th congressional district: Republican Mayra Flores defeated Democrat Dan Sanchez to succeed Democrat Filemon Vela Jr., who resigned on March 31, 2022, to work for Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld.^[75] The district has a partisan index of D+5.^[72]
Nebraska's 1st congressional district: Republican Mike Flood defeated Democrat Patty Pansing Brooks to succeed Republican Jeff Fortenberry, who resigned on March 31, 2022, after he was indicted and arrested for lying to the FBI about campaign contributions.^[76] The district has a partisan index of R+11.^[72]
Minnesota's 1st congressional district: Republican Brad Finstad defeated Democrat Jeff Ettinger to succeed Republican Jim Hagedorn, who died on February 17, 2022, from kidney cancer.^[77]^[78] The district has a partisan index of R+8.^[72]
Alaska's at-large congressional district: Democrat Mary Peltola defeated Republicans Sarah Palin and Nick Begich III to succeed Republican Don Young, who died on March 18, 2022.^[79] The district has a partisan index of R+9.^[72]
New York's 19th congressional district: Democrat Pat Ryan defeated Republican Marc Molinaro to succeed Democrat Antonio Delgado, who resigned on May 25, 2022, to become Lieutenant Governor of New York.^[80] The district has a partisan index of R+3.^[72]
New York's 23rd congressional district: Republican Joe Sempolinski defeated Democrat Max Della Pia to succeed Republican Tom Reed, who resigned on May 10, 2022, amid sexual assault allegations.^[81] The district has a partisan index of R+9.^[72]
Indiana's 2nd congressional district: Incumbent Republican Jackie Walorski died on August 3, 2022, in a traffic collision.^[82] A special election to fill the remainder of Walorski's term was held concurrently with the regularly-scheduled election for the seat, and Republican candidate Rudy Yakym won both elections to succeed Walorski.^[83] The district has a partisan index of R+13.^[72]

State elections

Gubernatorial elections

Elections were held for the governorships of 36 states and three territories. As most governors serve four-year terms, the last regularly-scheduled elections for most seats up for election in 2022 were held in 2018. The governors of New Hampshire and Vermont each serve two-year terms, so incumbents in these two states were determined by the 2020 gubernatorial elections.

Prior to the election, Republicans held a total of 28 seats, 20 of which were up for election in 2022, and Democrats held 22 seats, 16 of which were up for election. Democrats picked up the seats of retiring Republican incumbents in Maryland and Massachusetts, while races in Alaska, Arizona, and Nevada remain uncalled. Democratic incumbents won high-profile contests in Michigan and Wisconsin, while Democrat Josh Shapiro's defeat of Republican Doug Mastriano allowed Democrats to retain control of Pennsylvania's gubernatorial office. Democratic incumbents also prevailed in closely-contested races in Kansas and Oregon. Republican incumbents, meanwhile, won re-election in major races in Florida, Georgia, and Texas.^[84] With their respective victories, Tina Kotek of Oregon and Maura Healey of Massachusetts became the first openly lesbian state governors.^[85]

Other state executive elections

Various state-wide executive positions across several states held elections in 2022.

Attorneys generals were elected in thirty states, three territories, and one federal district. The previous elections for this group of states took place in 2018. The attorney general of Vermont serves two-year terms and was last elected in 2020.^[86]

Secretaries of state were elected in twenty-seven states. The previous elections for this group of states took place in 2018. The secretary of state of Vermont serves two-year terms and was last elected in 2020.^[87]

State treasurers and equivalents were elected in twenty-seven states, plus a special election in Utah. The previous elections for this group of states took place in 2018. The treasurer of Vermont serves two-year terms and was last elected in 2020.

State judicial elections

Numerous states held judicial elections in 2022. Republicans gained a majority on the North Carolina Supreme Court by picking up two seats, raising the possibility of mid-decade redistricting. In another election with major redistricting implications, Republicans retained a majority on the Supreme Court of Ohio.^[88]^[89]

Legislative elections

In 2022, 46 states held regularly-scheduled elections in 88 legislative chambers, although not all seats were up in the legislatures holding elections, as some states use staggered terms. Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Virginia did not hold regularly-scheduled state legislative elections, as those states all hold such elections in odd-numbered years. The District of Columbia and the U.S. territories of American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands also held legislative elections in 2022. As in the U.S. House of Representatives, these elections were the first conducted after the 2020 U.S. census and the 2022 U.S. redistricting. Going into the election, Republicans controlled 61 legislative chambers, as compared to 37 for Democrats.^[90]

Democrats successfully defended every legislative chamber they had held prior to the election, the first time the president's party accomplished this feat in a midterm since the 1934 U.S. elections.^[91] Democrats picked up both state legislative chambers in Michigan, as well as the Minnesota Senate;^[92] Democrats had not controlled the Michigan Senate since 1984.^[93] As a result of victories in state legislative and gubernatorial elections, Democrats gained government trifectas in Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Minnesota. Though Republican governor Phil Scott won re-election, Democrats gained a veto-proof super-majority in Vermont.^[91]

Referendums

Six states have an abortion‑related ballot measure in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that held there was no constitutional right to abortion in the United States and gave individual states the full power to regulate any aspect of abortion: California, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana, and Vermont.^[32] During the August primaries, 59% of Kansas voters rejected their state's Value Them Both Amendment, which would have removed the right to an abortion from the Kansas Constitution.^[94] California voters considered Proposition 1 during the general election,^[95]^[96] which amended the Constitution of California to explicitly grant the right to an abortion and contraceptives.^[1]

In Nebraska and Nevada, voters approved to increase of the minimum wage, which was in line with most such measures being approved regardless of red and blue state status.^[1] In South Dakota, voters approved to expand Medicaid coverage as part of the Affordable Care Act.^[1]^[97] In Tennessee, voters voted on Amendment 1,^[98] which would amend the Constitution of Tennessee to make it illegal for workplaces to require employees to be members of labor unions as a condition for employment.^[1]

In five states, voters were asked to make the possession and use of marijuana legal for people 21 and older.^[99] In Maryland and Missouri, the measures were approved but voters in North and South Dakota, as well as in Arkansas, rejected legalization. In Colorado, voters approved the decriminalization and regulation of certain psychedelic plants and fungi.^[1]

Table of state, territorial, and federal results

This table shows the partisan results of president, congressional, gubernatorial, and state legislative races held in each state and territory in 2022. Note that not all states and territories hold gubernatorial, state legislative, and Senate elections in 2022. The five territories and Washington, D.C., do not elect members of the Senate, and the territories do not take part in presidential elections; instead, they each elect one non-voting member of the House. Nebraska's unicameral legislature and the governorship and legislature of American Samoa are elected on a non-partisan basis, and political party affiliation is not listed.

Aftermath

Results

The race for Congress has been closer than expected.^[134]^[135]^[136] As of November 10, Republicans are favored to regain control of the House with a narrow majority of 3 seats (214–221) according to Decision Desk HQ,^[137]^[138]^[139] while the Senate remains too close to call.^[1]^[140]^[141] Joe Biden, the incumbent president, described the results as a "strong night" for Democrats,^[7] who are set to lose fewer seats than average for the president's party and made gains in the Senate, since the president's party usually lose many seats in the midterm elections;^[5] also considering his low approval ratings, it was the best performance for the president's party in a midterm election since the 1950 U.S. elections.^[142] Republican Senator Lindsey Graham commented: "It's certainly not a red wave, that's for darn sure. But it is clear that we will take back the House."^[139] As of November 10, control of the House has not yet been determined, as several seats remain uncalled.^[1]^[143]^[144] Several tossup races were won by Democrats, including upsets in Colorado's 8th congressional district and North Carolina's 13th congressional district.^[1]

As of November 11, control of the Senate remains unclear, as three races remained uncalled, all of which are Democratic-held;^[1] races have not yet been called in Arizona and Nevada, and Georgia will hold a runoff election after no candidate won a majority of the vote.^[145]^[146] Democrats must win two of these three races to maintain control of the Senate.^[1] The winner of the Senate race in Alaska has also not been determined but will remain under Republican control, as Republican incumbent Lisa Murkowski and Republican challenger Kelly Tshibaka are the two remaining potential victors of the race.^[147] In Pennsylvania, Democrat John Fetterman defeated Republican Mehmet Oz, gaining control of the seat held by retiring Republican Senator Pat Toomey.^[148]^[149] If incumbents ultimately prevail in Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada, 2022 would represent the first election since the passage of the Seventeenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in which no Senate incumbents lost re-election.^[147]

Six referendums to preserve or expand abortion access uniformly won, including in the states of Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, and Montana.^[13]^[14]^[15] Those related to increasing the minimum wage (Nebraska and Nevada) and expanding Medicaid coverage (South Dakota) also passed, while those related to cannabis legalization, some of which for medical uses and some for recreational usage, achieved mixed results.^[1] In state legislative elections, Democrats gained full control of government in Minnesota and made gains in Pennsylvania.^[16]^[150] In Michigan, Democrats took full control of government for the first time since 1983.^[151] Control of the state legislatures of Alaska,^[152] Arizona, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania has not yet been determined.^[93]

In the 2022 Maryland gubernatorial election, Wes Moore, a Democrat, became the state's first African-American governor, while the 2022 Massachusetts gubernatorial election and 2022 Oregon gubernatorial election resulted in Maura Healey and Tina Kotek, both Democrats, becoming the first open lesbian governors in U.S. history. Gretchen Whitmer, the incumbent Democrat, won the 2022 Michigan gubernatorial election. On the Republican side, incumbent governors performed well. Greg Abbott won the 2022 Texas gubernatorial election, while Brian Kemp won the 2022 Georgia gubernatorial election; in both cases, they defeated opponents, Beto O'Rourke and Stacey Abrams, who had lost by narrower margins in 2018.^[1]^[17]^[153] In the 2022 Florida gubernatorial election, Ron DeSantis won in a landside; early results showed he performed better than other Republicans among Hispanics.^[154] Both parties elected female governors, resulting in the most female governors in U.S. history. Incumbent Laura Kelly of the Democratic Party narrowly won the 2022 Kansas gubernatorial election, while Sarah Huckabee Sanders of the Republican Party won the 2022 Arkansas gubernatorial election to became the state's first female governor.^[1]

Analysis

The lack of a predicted wave election in the United States in favor of the Republican Party (concern about the status of the economy and inflation remained the highest issue with large margin over abortion, which placed second according to polls both prior to and after the elections) was attributed to issues that instead favored the Democratic Party,^[6]^[7]^[8] including significant concern over extremism among Republicans and over the democratic backsliding in the United States that worsened since Donald Trump won in 2016, abortion rights and the status of abortion in the United States since June 2022 after Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization overtuned the long-held precedent since 1972 of Roe v. Wade that gave a constitutional right to abortion,^[1]^[2] and the possible imminent announcement of the Trump 2024 election campaign.^[3]^[4]

The elections reflected trends that approximately started in 2012, in which the white American working-class, and since 2016 also some minorities,^[12] in particular those who are working class or Hispanic and Latino Americans, moved even more towards Republicans,^[155] while affluent and college-educated whites continued to move towards Democrats.^[2] Democrats performed better than expected in states like New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and performed well in Colorado and New England, while Republicans made gains in Florida and New York. Redistricting and gerrymandering also affected results; in New York, where Democrats suffered major losses, a gerrymander had been rejected by the courts, while gerrymanders in Florida and Tennessee gave Republicans more seats by virtue of the redistricted map being much more Republican-leaning.^[1]

Fears of democratic collapse

Democratic backsliding was a concern among voters. Polls show that many voters feared that Trump and Republicans would lead to the collapse of democracy in the United States.^[156]^[157] Several news outlets tracked the midterm results of 2020 election deniers, including Axios,^[158] the BBC,^[159] Bloomberg News,^[160] CNN,^[161] The New York Times,^[162] and The Washington Post;^[163] there were hundreds of election deniers candidates among Republicans,^[164] and according to one analysis 60 percent of Americans had election deniers on the ballot.^[165] Many of them ran for governor or secretary of state, both of which are positions overseeing elections and certifying their results;^[166] as of November 9, races in Arizona and Nevada remains too close to call.^[167] While many won, most of them were incumbent members of Congress who voted to not certify the 2020 presidential election results but avoided comments after the January 6 United States Capitol attack; those who made electoral fraud claims central to their campaign, in particular those who were newcomers, lost.^[1]^[168] In general, those Republican candidates who were backed by Trump or were 2020 election deniers underperformed.^[169]

Potential 2024 DeSantis vs. Trump primary battle

Many analysts believed that the results set up a potential primary contest between DeSantis and Trump for the Republican nomination in 2024.^[11]^[18] Despite losses, Trump called the results a "great evening", though those close to him reported him "livid" and "furious with everyone" for the losses, in particular the Senate open seat in Pennsylvania. About DeSantis, Trump stated that he was ready to reveal what he described as "bad things" about him, claiming to know him "more than anyone else, perhaps more than [his wife]."^[139]

Turnout

Turnout was relatively high by midterm standards. After the blue wave of 2018, it was the second highest since the 1970 U.S. elections. The trend was confirmed by turnout among young voters (18–29), which was the highest after 2018.^[9]^[10] According to Edison Research National Election Pool, the youth vote for the House was 63–35 in favor of Democrats. Pollster Antonio Arellano commented that young voters were the only age group in which more than 50 percent of voters supported Democrats.^[139]

As we move into the endgame of the 2022 election, the Democrats face a familiar problem. America's historical party of the working class keeps losing working-class support. And not just among white voters. Not only has the emerging Democratic majority I once predicted failed to materialize, but many of the nonwhite voters who were supposed to deliver it are instead voting for Republicans. ... From 2012 to 2020, the Democrats not only saw their support among white working-class voters — those without college degrees — crater, they also saw their advantage among nonwhite working-class voters fall by 18 points. And between 2016 and 2020 alone, the Democratic advantage among Hispanic voters declined by 16 points, overwhelmingly driven by the defection of working-class voters. In contrast, Democrats' advantage among white college-educated voters improved by 16 points from 2012 to 2020, an edge that delivered Joe Biden the White House.

As we move into the endgame of the 2022 election, the Democrats face a familiar problem. America's historical party of the working class keeps losing working-class support. And not just among white voters. Not only has the emerging Democratic majority I once predicted failed to materialize, but many of the nonwhite voters who were supposed to deliver it are instead voting for Republicans. ... From 2012 to 2020, the Democrats not only saw their support among white working-class voters — those without college degrees — crater, they also saw their advantage among nonwhite working-class voters fall by 18 points. And between 2016 and 2020 alone, the Democratic advantage among Hispanic voters declined by 16 points, overwhelmingly driven by the defection of working-class voters. In contrast, Democrats' advantage among white college-educated voters improved by 16 points from 2012 to 2020, an edge that delivered Joe Biden the White House.
