The Republicans had overwhelmingly won most Electoral College votes in Indiana....and like the entire United States Capital Cities, except for a very few Southern States like Oklahoma, and Arkansas, The Democrats have won, all major Cities, throughout the United States.
Indianapolis, Indiana, is not an exception to the rule of Democrats dominance with one of only two districts, of the Indiana Electoral College votes, won by the Democrats.
Indianapolis is Democratic Party BLUE.
Andre Carson (D) retains Indianapolis with 67% of the City vote. in District 7.
Meanwhile anywhere beyond the city limits is Trump territory.
Similarly with Ohio, where Colombus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati remain Democratic strongholds, despite the fact that both Indiana and Ohio have been claimed by the Republican Party.
In California, the largest State, with 55 Electoral Votes, over 42 were won by the Democratic Party. All were from the major cities.
Even in Georgia where the Trump campaign is sure to win, Atlanta City, the capital of Georgia, reviles Trump despite Trump gaining the state with the most number of Georgian Electoral Votes.
Florida which is Trump's home state, the major cities like Tallahassee, Jacksonville and most importantly, Miami, were claimed by Democrats, even though Trump overwhelmingly has claimed the State. This is indicative that most Americans in the cities do not like Trump throughout the United States.
In Pennsylvania, where there has been violent confrontations, in the major cities of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia the Democrats rule. Even though, Trump is claiming the state and claiming that the Election is fraudulent in the State.
Washington DC, the capital city, 92% of voters overwhelmingly voted for Joe Biden, which means that if President Trump were to return to the White House, outside of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC, the entire City is Democratic Party Blue. The Republicans will be very lonely outside of Congress in Washington DC.
The Electoral College determines who becomes President. So the magic number is 270 Electoral College votes.
Each State are distributed Electoral votes according to the population of electors within each of the States. The largest State California has 55 Electoral Votes whereas Hawaii and Washington DC, have fewer voters and are given 3 Electoral College votes each.
The problem....if a major party wins an Electoral College vote, they win the entire State Electoral College votes. Seems unfair why? Because most major cities have the most number of voters. Since the Democratic party Electoral Votes have been concentrated in the major cities, the Republican Party Electoral College Votes have been won in the regional counties/Districts, which means most voters are in the cities.
The Democratic Party have nearly all major cities throughout the United States.
Herein lies the rub of the US Presidential Election, most Americans have voted for the Democratic Party in most Presidential Elections.
Obama won the most votes in his second term with well over 70 million votes. Hillary Clinton won more than 3 million votes than Donald Trump in the last Federal Election.
In the 2020 Presidential Election Joe Biden has gained more than 72 million votes, surpassing Barack Obamas Election victory when 70million Americans voted for Barack Obama.
72million Americans have voted for Joe Biden. Easily the largest number in American Election history.
Why isn't he President? It is because of the Electoral votes. Most Trump States have fewer populations but their Electoral votes pushes Trump over the line.
One may argue that the American Electoral College system is undemocratic and is biased against the urbanised cities.
