Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Pennsylvania’s

I didn't know he won his home state by that much

He won states Democrats hadn’t taken since the 1970s.

What states? Don't feel like you have to list them all, but you said plural so at least two of you wouldn't mind.

I tried googling it and didn't find much

What states?

Arizona and Georgia

Arizona

1996

Georgia

1992

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_elections_in_Georgia

Now, I might not be the best at math, but the 1990s came after the 1970s...

So...

He won states Democrats hadn’t taken since the 1970s.

Do you have two examples of that? Or was the 90s as far back as you found and you didn't think I'd check?
