Trump Has Lost His Popular-Vote Majority
Intelligencer via MSN ^ | Nov. 21, 2024 | Ed Kilgore

Posted on 11/21/2024 11:19:38 AM PST by fwdude

On Election Night, with characteristic modesty, Donald Trump claimed an “unprecedented and powerful mandate.” He certainly won the contest legitimately, if more narrowly than many observers initially thought. His popular-vote margin over Kamala Harris has dropped from around 3 percent on the evening of November 5 (or about two-thirds of Joe Biden’s margin in 2020) to 1.62 percent today. That’s about a half-percent smaller than Hillary Clinton’s national popular-vote margin over Trump in 2016. To make some other comparisons: Barack Obama won the popular vote by 3.9 percent in 2012 and 7.2 percent in 2016, and George W. Bush won the popular vote by 2.4 percent in the very close 2004 election.

...

Unlike Obama and Bush, moreover, Trump did not win a majority of the national popular vote. Though it looked like he was over 50 percent on Election Night, the steady drip of late ballots has eroded his percentage to (currently) 49.87 percent, with further slippage very likely before all the votes are in.

They could count "ballots" for two more months and Kamala would have 2 BILLION votes. Funny how that happens.

The left is evil, relentless and formidable. The stole the popular vote to make their minions feel better, and in their minds, harm Trump.

I’m ok with almost anything that is done to harm progressives.

“Barack Obama won the popular vote by 3.9 percent in 2012 and 7.2 percent in 2016”

Uh, Ed might want to fix that statement.

Reuters, the only one I can find who is keeping up still has Trump in the lead 76,733,150 to 74,191,964. I don’t think they are accepting all the RATS miraculous Hail Mary ballots. Time for you azhos on the left to knock off counting the phony ballots. ELECTION DENIERS! YOU ALL SHOULD BE IN PRISON FOR THESE STEALS.

In 1967, Polish mercenary Rafal Ganowicz was asked what it felt like to take human life, “I wouldn’t know, I’ve only ever killed Communists”.

The so-called "Popular Vote" is a FABRICATION, a FANTASY, and a LIE. It does not exist for any purpose, it is nowhere in the Constitution, and it has no real effect. It is FAKE.

Getting a "Majority" of the FAKE "Popular Vote" has even less meaning.

If indeed anything about this FABRICATION had any meaning, it would be which candidate got the most total votes, whether it's a majority or a plurality. And Trump still has more total votes than Harris.

What a total crock. These people make me puke.

Good, good.Let them talk themselves into never changing. Hopefully they double down on trans athletes, unlimited “migration” and “bidenomics was working”.

I don’t think they understand the word majority.

Exactly true !
And with Pennsylvania still counting,
perhaps Harris will win the _residency while she's on vacation !
Don't laugh - it could happen
