    Trump had 15 million less votes than then he did in the last election and he still won the popular vote, voter turnout was abysmal

    Trump has less votes than he did in 2020 and he still won the popular vote, and if you tally of all the votes there is 15 million less votes overall

      He is currently at 72 million and in the last election got 74 million. This is the third comment in a row that I’ve had to say this. Where in the world are people getting these ridiculous numbers?

        Sorry got my numbers mixed up, he has less votes than he did in 2020 but he’s one, and if you compare to 2020 there are 15 million less people who voted

          Also, it will take a few days for all votes to be counted, in more populous areas, California, west coast. Don’t know where it will land, but I think it’s clear that D’s especially did not vote in great numbers.
