Trump received 9,776 more votes than he did in 2016, a 10% increase.
Biden received 35,563more votes than Clinton did in 2016, an increase of 32%. That's not called 'losing ground'.
Trump's share of the vote decreased by 1.3 percentage points. Biden decreased Clinton's share of the vote by 8 percentage points.
