In 1984, Ronald Reagan won Hamilton County by 65 percentage points. In 2024, Donald Trump won the county by just 6 percentage points. That's a lot of shrinkage.

Carl Gibson reports:
Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) held a town hall meeting on Friday in Westfield, Indiana, which is in reliably conservative Hamilton County. According to WIRED reporter Jake Lahut, Trump won the county by a 51-45 margin in November, and Spartz defeated her Democratic opponent by 18 percentage points. Politico national political correspondent Adam Wren tweeted that there were approximately 500 people present at the event.
