"Donald Trump's popular vote total has fallen below 50 percent, and his margin over Kamala Harris has narrowed considerably as all the votes are counted."

…… and his margin is the forty-fourth worst out of 51 presidential elections since 1824.

*But a W is a W, just not his kind of W. I would have preferred a Harris win with the 51st worst margin since 1824.

If we count "votes" for another week, it may end up being the absolute worst margin!

I agree with this, of course.

Alameda County is still counting votes. Whatup with that? I didn't think Madame D.A. was going to concede until the last dog was hung.

It takes time to print the ballots, sign them, deliver them and count them.

Just want to add that in 2024, it's persondate, not mandate. Come on already get with the program.

He won fair & square, but it's a narrow margin. Don't listen to anyone who calls it a "landslide," and if the GOP governs like it was they will get punished for it in the next elections.

Shot or eaten.
Come on, Bear. We either shoot dogs dead or eat them with cat sauce in 2024.

The stat I saw was that Kamala would have needed to flip about 250,000 votes in 3 states while Trump needed to flip 80,000 in 4 states in 2020.

Kamala got 48%.
This is no "mandate".

bonus fact: Hillary needed 80,000 in 3 states in 2016.

I'm not so sure about this claim.
1. I imagine it's somewhat impossible for Trump to behave ethically. I'd be inclined to say We Just Don't Know About Any Cheating Today.
2. If it was fair, he'd be in jail for his past crimes, which are immense.

The worst margin was in 2016 when Hillary beat Trump by millions!
