Every county in Oklahoma, including the ones containing their cities, went for Trump in 2024. What you’re saying is often true, but GP is exactly right about some of the midwestern states.

The popular vote went ~2/3 in OK to Trump.

Of all the states Oklahoma is certainly one of them, however its 4 million people aren't even 2% of the total US population.

Cherry-picking aside, the victory margin in the 2024 election was the smallest in over five decades, only the 2000 and 2020 elections (where the loser of popular vote was able to seize power on technicalities, they had negative victory margins) were smaller.
