212,055,036 votes are the most votes ever cast for a two term president of the USA.

🙂👍

The margins are slim, but let's hope that Congress gets the job done this time.

Decision Desk still shows one more needed though:

It's looks like they finally updated the Colorado win. Who was the latest win?

[SmokingJoe]

Gabe Evans (R) 8th District Colorado.

The U.S. president elected with the highest percentage of the total population at that time was Ronald Reagan during his re-election in 1984. He won with the support of more than 23% of the total population.

PRAISE GOD!!

[Robert DeLong]

Well, that is the one I mentioned, only I couldn't remember his name but I got the state correct. It takes 218 to have control of the House, so we are still one short, according to Decision Desk.

Republicans 217, Democrats 209, 217 + 209 = 426.

That leaves 9 races still counting. 209 + 9 = Democrat: 218

218 + 217 = 435

He also won 49 out of 50 states.
And before that won twice to be governor of ...wait for it..California.
Funny thing is, he lost the primaries first time he run for president..against Gerald Ford of all people.

[Robert DeLong]

I think you meant to type 53%.

[WildHighlander57]

I looked just now and it says 218.

Decision Desk just updated Republican House majority at 218. Looks like we’ll do even better when the remaining come in.

[Robert DeLong]

Okay, they just updated it. It now reads 218 on the Decision Desk. 🙂👍

[Robert DeLong]

Yeah, I looked just before I posted that & it was still saying 217. 🙂👍

[SmokingJoe]

From Decision Desk on X, Republicans have ALREADY won House majority.

Decision Desk HQ projects that Republicans have won enough seats to control the US House.

[caww]

I will gladly second that.....

[Chad_the_Impaler]

The data is here where it says Reagan got 23.1% votes of the total population. I should have said Republican president, since according to the graph Biden got 24.56% of the total population in 2020 when almost 50% of the population voted.

[Jaded]

How much of the dead population voted for Biden?

I saw Ronald Reagan from across the street in 1976

He got out of the limo at the hotel across from where I worked at that time

That hotel is long gone now

[SmokingJoe]

Very cool.
Never met the great man.
Went to his funeral and saw his body in state at the Capitol though.
Long line,
