If you look at the polls, they were incredibly close. This result is totally consistent with the polls, given the margin of error.
Virginia was +5 Harris rcp averages.
This is outside of the margin of error.
Harris won by around 5 points in NJ, Biden won NJ in 2020 by 16 points. That is a far wider swing than any poll predicted.
People in a non-swing state figure "yolo" and vote for their emotional favorite, because they're dissatisfied with the status quo and have no other way to express it?
Well, it was close enough that it should worry the Dems and put NJ in play for Republics in the near future. NJ has not always voted consistently for democrats.

Iowa was polling at +3 Harris. Trump won it +13. Not even close to margin of error.
