The US presidential election in 2024 has come at a point where Donald Trump's victory now just remains a formality. As per reports, Trump has managed to take over 20 states with polls already closed in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and others.
Given the almost uncertainty of the election results, two new trends ‘Blue Wall’ and ‘Red Mirage’ have emerged on social media platforms, especially X. Here’s what netizens had to react regarding the emerging trends.

“this red mirage lasting a little too long,” a person wrote.
“i know it’s the red mirage but there is too much red on this damn map,” a netizen posted.
“Idc if it’s the red mirage, I can’t believe most of this country stupid as f*ck to vote for him again,” a social media user remarked.
“its just the red mirage, its just the red mirage, its just the red mirage…” an online user reacted.
‘Blue Wall’ trends have also seen a lot of reactions from X users as they wrote:
“me pretending not to care about blue wall so that it comes faster,” another X user wrote.
“Democrats trying to hold the Blue Wall right now. #ElectionNight,” a person opined.
“I’m nervous but I still have confidence that the blue wall will hold. However, if that’s not the case, I stand by my opinion that Kamala and her team did all they could do. You can not campaign away bigotry, racism and misogyny, and that’s just the reality,” a social media user stated.
“me letting the blue wall know we are relying on it to hold for a harris victory #Election2024,” another netizen reacted.
Reportedly, Donald Trump got 267 votes while Kamala Harris had 224 votes
Donald Trump secured a win in Florida, once a swing state that has leaned increasingly Republican, along with early victories in traditionally Republican states like Texas, South Carolina, and Indiana. Kamala Harris, meanwhile, claimed Democratic-leaning states including New York, Massachusetts, and Illinois.
As per a CNN report, the GOP also moved closer to a Senate majority, with Bernie Moreno flipping a Democratic seat in Ohio and Jim Justice winning in West Virginia after Joe Manchin’s retirement. Kamala Harris aimed for a potential path to victory through “Blue Wall” states and the Sun Belt, but Donald Trump held a slight lead in Pennsylvania with 93% of votes counted, narrowing Kamala Harris’s options.
Donald Trump's performance exceeded expectations in key areas, including a slight gain in Philadelphia compared to 2020, giving his campaign team unexpected confidence. Campaign aides initially predicted a close race that could take days to decide but expected Trump to ultimately win.
The vice president’s focus on a traditional Democratic get-out-the-vote effort, using paid staff and union-backed door-knocking, proved effective. In contrast, Donald Trump delegated much of this work to allies like Elon Musk, who had limited experience with voter outreach.
The Kamala Harris campaign mobilized 2,500 staff across 353 offices, reportedly logging 600,000 door-knocks and three million calls in a single week. The New York Times wrote that a Harris victory would validate the long-standing belief among political strategists that effective turnout operations are decisive in close races.
