As for the popular vote, according to the latest tally from the Cook Political Report, Trump won 49.8% of the vote, a margin of 1.47% over Harris.
Harris, interestingly enough, "won a higher percentage of the popular vote than Trump received in 2016 or 2020..."

So no amount of truth will change their belief in the mythical mandate.
We have Republican attorney generals in this country the control the vote
I’ll never believe he actually won
But… It was purchased fair & square by the 1st Laddie
wondering if they’ll share a dance to “Lady in Red” at the inaugural ball
🤮
Hand delivered to county BofE, status is still at received. Waaay past time to be counted.
Best of the Best, bar none !
And LOVED 🩷 them HATS,
Ms Maddow ! Hats OFF for
THAT Hand Off ! Post Lawrence’s picture of it, on
New Year’s Day ? Maybe . . .
…sure
My fear is the damage that he will do in those four years and how it will impact all that happens also beyond 2028, not to mention also the broad global implications.
This isn’t just about the US but the world.
50.1% is a mandate.
Anything short of that ain’t!

A jury found him guilty but Trump never had a hearing to lay the judgment sentence on him.
Think of a disciplinary write up at work, fully filled out but never signed by the boss. You can say the guy it was for got a write up but technically it didn't count as one.
You can keep incorrectly calling him a convicted felon to make yourself feel better that he will retake the White House on the twentieth, doesn't make it true.
And I am aware he was found guilty by a jury.
Link is time stamped.

Put another way, when I'm low I think, "He ran against a woman, of color, of 2 immigrant parents, a progressive from Cal, set up poorly by her pres (love you Joe, but it's true), with 107 days to run, and techligarch algorithms against her, and he still won by only 1.7%"
So what?
NONE of that matters!
Trump was never found guilty of rape and was never convicted of a felony.
1.47% ffs it's sickening.

If the case was reversed you can bet Trumpworld would be demanding one.
Joy and completely dismissing Walz after his debate, did
not do it. Very strange-"we love Coach" then he cannot be on television. This Party wonders why they lost ???????
I’m guessing it’s not <2 points.
He says he has a mandate the same way he still talks about crowd size.
I’m sure January 20th will be the largest crowd ever in the history of people.
Despite this, reporters are still calling his election "overwhelming."
We've seen it before.
When Facebook helped sway an election on Croatia .
Or TikTok in Romania.
Or X in USA?...
Then, analysis against down ticket votes reveal the algorithmic meddling not natural variation
The USA is so thoroughly gaslighted, it accepts the unreality of it

And I cannot get rid of the feeling that this time, they managed to "find him" a few hundred thousand votes just where they were needed.
There’s a headline we’ll never have to worry about.
No. We got beat, fair and square, according to the rules/ laws at the time.
It sucks. Don't sink to their level. Grow up, move on. Develop better, younger leaders for 2026.
We’re done with the innumerable disappointments neoliberals have brought us.
And she gets rich by bolstering support for neoliberal politics
Why?
I think it was racism and sexism, tbh.
But I do agree Biden should never have run in the first place.
And yet, I still voted for Harris, because I'm not racist or sexist, nor am I an imbecile.
don't look for conspiracies here. Maddow's just saying it was a lot closer than we may realize, and he has nothing close to a mandate.
but if you want to live like that then i guess it's up to you.
I want justice. Why don’t you?
That's why, like Putin before him, Musk is safe from Drumpf crossing him, even when he gets all the attention.
Butler was also a fake, and a shitty one at that.
What will it take for ONE PERSON IN MEDIA TO REPORT THESE FACTS?!
You have lost 43% of your viewers!! Maybe try something g new? Or get a new job?
