Yes, Republicans won the Senate and the House. But, contrary to both Republican talking points and breathless headlines and hot takes from leading media outlets (“resounding”, “rout”, “runaway win”), there was really nothing at all historic or huge about the margin of victory.
There was no “landslide”. There was no “blowout”. There was no “sweeping” mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie.
First, consider the popular vote. Yes, Trump became the first Republican for two decades to win the popular vote. However, per results from CNN, the Cook Political Report, and the New York Times, he did not win a majority of the vote. Barack Obama did in both 2008 and 2012. Joe Biden did in 2020. But Donald Trump failed to do so in 2024.
And the former president’s margin of victory over Harris is a miniscule 1.6 percentage points, “smaller than that of every winning president since 1888 other than two: John F Kennedy in 1960 and Richard M Nixon in 1968”, as an analysis in the New York Times noted last month. In fact, in the 55 presidential elections in which the popular vote winner became president, 49 of them were won with a margin bigger than Trump’s in 2024. It was a landslide. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f7/ElectoralCollege2024.s...Harris wasn't even elected as the Democratic nominee. She has never been elected for anything. She was a puppet's puppet.
A dodged bullet. Bulldust, WASHINGTON — The Democratic National Committee announced late Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris had secured the support of 99% of delegates to formally become the party’s presidential nominee, following the conclusion of a five-day virtual vote. The results, which included a state-by-state breakdown, followed the DNC announcing Friday that Harris had surpassed the number of delegates needed to become the nominee as voting proceeded. She was the only candidate to qualify. The DNC said 4,567 delegates cast their votes for her. The next steps will be the certification of the roll call by the convention secretary, Jason Rae, and the acceptance of the nomination by Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. why are trump supporters so dumb? I wish I knew. Not only was she elected as the Democratic nominee, but also this: 2007 - elected San Francisco District Attorney with 98.5% of the vote.
2010 - elected California Attorney General (overseeing the largest state Justice Department in the U.S.}
2014 - elected California Attorney General (again).
2016 - elected to the United States Senate in California
2020 - elected Vice President.Some days I think Frank might be having a little too much medication. Losers. Harris was the only candidate eligible to receive votes after no other candidate qualified by the party’s deadline.You mongs are worse than Stalin or Mao. In2025. Hideous. So she was elected then, yet here you are trying your hardest to recover from the statement you made,which was incorrect. all those laughing emojis. and yet trump is now the most powerful man on earth . perhaps this expression resonates "he who laughs last , laughest loudest " enjoy your 4 years in the wildernessi know trump is going to enjoy himself We all know your political acumen is in the toilet, its obvious by the amount of times you have to make up numbers to try and score a point or the amount of times you run away from a thread when proved wrong. All those word salad posts are just that,word salad,you just trying to prove that you are smart when in reality you are so dumb. So here I am sitting back, popcorn in hand waiting for trump to bugger up,it wont be long,just 2 short years before he loses the house and the senate. Given the state of the gop currently it may be much sooner before trump loses the house. But be my guest ,continue to support the adjudicated rapist, 34 times convicted felon and utterly vile man,we all know what you will do when the truth about trump comes out. Oh just a reminder, still waiting for your answer as to why trump fought for 3 years to not have dna evidence admitted into court, lets see if you have grown any balls in the last few months.
