It looked like a landslide based on the first votes that were counted. Which is exactly what was expected. Even if Harris had had enough electoral votes to win, it would have looked a lot more red at first than what the end result would be, because Republicans are more likely to show up on election day to vote, while Democrats are more likely to mail in their ballots or vote early, both of which are counted after day-of votes in many states.

We knew this ahead of time and it also happened in 2020.
