This is not exactly the Two Americas John Edwards once spoke of.
The Covid-19 vaccination map looks almost exactly like the election map, declares CNN:
Florida is more vaccinated than many states. At 62%, the vaccination rate in Florida is above the national average, but that includes both highly vaccinated places in southern Florida — Miami-Dade County is 79% fully vaccinated — and places in the northern part of the state that are well under 50% vaccinated.
This is a pattern that repeats across the country. In fact, look at these two maps: the 2020 election map and CNN’s current vaccination map, which includes state-level data.
They’re very similar. Blue states that voted for President Joe Biden are generally more than 60% vaccinated. Red states that went for former President Donald Trump are generally under that average.
Florida and Wisconsin, battlegrounds at the political level, are exceptions on the vaccine. They voted for Trump but have vaccination rates above 60%.
Other battlegrounds, like Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia, are also exceptions. They went for Biden, but their vaccination rates are below 60%.
