She lost by 2 mill votes, Biden won with 7 mill in 2020, and she got more votes than Trump in 2020. I wouldn’t say he beat her badly. It sucks nevertheless.
He’s the first Republican president to run the popular vote in a decade, and one of two who have won the popular vote in something like the past 20. It has become de rigueur for GOP presidents to win only because of the unfairness built into the electoral college. Any Republican who wins both the electoral and the popular vote can fairly claim to have badly beaten their opponent – as opposed to losing the popular and winning the electoral, which is beating your opponent badly (ha ha).
The playing field is not level for Democrats and Republicans. The GOP is running a cheat mode, and in generations has rarely won fairly. When they can win without it, I’d say that’s a handy win.
