Between 2020 and 2024, Democrats lost 2.1 million registered voters while Republicans gained 2.4 million, signaling a significant shift in party registration trends nationwide.

- Experts warn that reversing the trend requires more than money, as identifying the registration problem is easier than fixing it and Democrats cannot simply revert to past minority-recruitment strategies due to Trump's coalition changes.
