Bret Baier: Trump Will Have a Mandate Because He ‘Won Big’ the Electoral College

‘But he has to know that this is a divided country’

BAIER: "It does not get certified until January 6th, officially certified. And then it’s onto the inauguration. What does this tell us? He is a couple million votes plus down in the popular vote, but clearly won the election big in the Electoral College with 306 electoral votes to 232, and that has to factor in to his ability to work across the aisle. He will have a mandate because he won with an Electoral College vote that was big, but he has to know that this is a divided country at which point working with Democrats and things like infrastructure projects and other big ticket items probably will be key to this new coming president who is a wheeler-dealer and knows how to, you know, work people over to get it his way."
