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.

Summary

Trump’s popular vote share has fallen below 50% to 49.94%, with Kamala Harris at 48.26%, narrowing his margin of victory.

Trump’s share of the popular vote is lower than Biden’s in 2020 (51.3%), Obama’s in 2012 (51.1%) and 2008 (52.9%), George W. Bush’s in 2004 (50.7%), George H.W. Bush’s in 1988 (53.2%), Reagan’s in 1984 (58.8%) and 1980 (50.7%), and Carter’s in 1976 (50.1%).

The 2024 election results highlight Trump’s narrow victory and the need for Democrats to address their mistakes and build a diverse working-class coalition.

The numbers also give Democrats a reason to push back on Trump’s mandate claims, noting most Americans did not vote for him.

      People need to chill, he won by a good margin

      even if true, does that suddenly make him not a convicted criminal and rapist?

        Of course it doesn’t change that. That is not what’s being discussed, please don’t turn to strawman attacks. It cheapens the discussion.

          Yeah it’s important that we all acknowledge the fascist was elected with a clear majority

            I genuinely think so. He’s a piece of shit, it’s obvious to everyone not wearing an ostrich costume, and yet he was voted in.

          do you… even know what a straw man is? Im addressing your comment that ‘he won by a good margin’, it appears you are saying that if someone wins an election, then there is no point in having any discussion about the methods that person used to get elected? All criminality and previous insane behavior is instantly washed away by winning an election?

            The margins he won by have nothing to do with him being a rapist piece of shit.

        Bro wtf do the elections result have on common with him being a criminal? We are talking about votes and election results, stop mixing things

      yaaa… Im sure the guy who cheated in 2016, and cheated again in 2020 definitely didnt cheat in any way at all this time…

      I’m thinking its less to create drama, and more to be like “So he doesn’t have a mandate then, to do all this bad shit he wants to do.”

      Its no longer being billed as “Landslide victory! Americans clearly want bigotry!”

        That is not what they are saying to chill on. They’re saying to chill on this number drama bullshit.

        He won, and margins are just stats.
