Vaccination Rates Correlate to the 2020 Vote

September 10, 2021 · 4:24 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Philip Bump: “The chain of correlation here is indisputable: Republicans have been less concerned about the virus, less likely to embrace practices such as masking, more likely to express opposition to vaccination and (obviously) voted more heavily for Trump — and now, after vaccinations have been made broadly available, states that are seeing the most new cases and deaths are states that are less heavily vaccinated and were more supportive of Trump last year.”
