Summary
Trump’s popular vote share has fallen below 50% to 49.94%, with Kamala Harris at 48.26%, narrowing his margin of victory.
Trump’s share of the popular vote is lower than Biden’s in 2020 (51.3%), Obama’s in 2012 (51.1%) and 2008 (52.9%), George W. Bush’s in 2004 (50.7%), George H.W. Bush’s in 1988 (53.2%), Reagan’s in 1984 (58.8%) and 1980 (50.7%), and Carter’s in 1976 (50.1%).
The 2024 election results highlight Trump’s narrow victory and the need for Democrats to address their mistakes and build a diverse working-class coalition.
The numbers also give Democrats a reason to push back on Trump’s mandate claims, noting most Americans did not vote for him.
interesting, don’t see anything about winning the popular presidential election here
I wasn’t contradicting you. I was sharing a (not so) fun fact.
no but that was also me asking a clarifying question, because i knew you were talking about the electoral college, and i was talking about the popular presidential vote.
I don’t understand the point of this exchange. Watch the video. I was literally just sharing a video.
