Answer 2

• Reagan won by a landslide.
• Republicans gained control of the senate.
• Reagan did not win any states in the west.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the United States presidential election of 1980 the American people elected as president the Republican Ronald Reagan before the Democrat Jimmy Carter, at that time head of state.

The elections were marked by the slow recovery of the economic crisis of the mid-70s, whose main effects were a significant rise in inflation and unemployment. At the international level the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the fiasco of the Marielitos and the crisis of the Iranian hostages also hit Carter hard, especially after the failure of the Eagle Claw Mission to rescue the kidnapped Americans in Tehran. All this benefited Reagan, whose optimism managed to defeat Carter.
