CNN senior political data reporter Harry Enten said Friday on “News Central” that President-elect Donald Trump had a mandate because his victory was the biggest party gain since 1992.
Host Kate Bolduan said, “During his victory speech President-Elect Trump said voters gave him an unprecedented mandate. We decided to look into the numbers.”
Enten said, “I think the improvement that Donald Trump had, Holy Toledo. Trump gained ground in 49 states and the district of Columbia compared to 2020. I went back through the record books and when was the last time a party gained in so many different places? You have to go back to 1992 when Bill Clinton improved on Michael Dukakis’s performance and the bottom line is no matter where you looked on the map in the matter where you looked Donald Trump was improving on where he did four years ago except for Washington state. And it is no wonder that at this point he looks like he will be the first Republican to win the popular vote since George W. Bush in 2004.”

Yeah, because Bush was so like 0bama…
Good points. Shows how badly the neocons, Bushes, Cheneys, Romneys, McCains, Ryans, McConnells destroyed the brand after Reagan. They lost the Reagan Dems and middle class. Trump basically had to build that damaged edifice from scratch. Good thing he’s a builder.
I think this meant 1994 when the GOP took the House back.
Hillary care did that
and 1994 was when many senators in the south switched parties ...
And yet, we were still very close to having Kamala win.
Just shows there’s still a lot of work to do.
How ‘many’?
Yup. Commies(evil) never stops.
No, he specifically said in a Presidential Election year.
Thanks, I didn’t catch that.
Clinton got 43 Percent in 1992. President Trump got 51.
Bull, From Carter to Reagan or Nixon’s first win were bigger but they wont admit it.
I think 2008 was bigger then both 1992 1996
Yes; without that a$%#@ Perot BJ Clinton might not have won!!!
I think 2008 was bigger then both 1992 1996
As if there was a dime’s worth of difference between Bush and Clinton.
America to the demonrats: “We HATE you, we really really HATE you”.
Demonrats to America: “...sobbing...”
“As if there was a dime’s worth of difference between Bush and Clinton.”
No one understood that at the time.
Whart I did not like about GHWBush was it seemed to me that his attitude was that with all his previous jobs under his belt that he “deserved” to be president (like someone who has gotten everything checked off on his dance card).
Then, after the Obama 2nd term ended, the Bush family felt the party was supposed to annount one of them, or at least onew they supported.
Trump squashed that idea with his popular candidacy and they have hated him for it ever since.
well my mistake ... it was only Shelby ... but I think the 1994 midterms is when the south turned reliably republican ...
