The story of the 2020 election can be told in #NE02 (Omaha burbs), which allocates an EV vote and featured a hotly-contested House race:

Biden easily carried the district by 6.5%, even as Clinton lost it by 2. Biggest pro-Biden swing of any targeted state/EV in the US.
1/2
The House race featured a rematch from 2018, w GOP Rep. Don Bacon facing rematch against outspoken progressive Kara Eastman.

Bacon EXPANDED his margin from 2018, winning by 5 (he won by 2 in 2018).

Lotta crossover Biden-Bacon voters in the race.
put simply: Biden turned a suburban Trump district in 2016 into a comfortable Biden seat in 2020.

But the Republican congressman, facing the exact same opponent, notably expanded his margin of victory!
