Reid: Do Not ‘Despair,’ Trump’s ‘Landslide’ Is Winning Just Slightly 50% of the 63% Who Bothered to Turn Out

EXCERPT:

REID: “And frankly, there isn’t much about the Trump campaign that his supporters can exactly be proud of. The racism, the misogyny, the insults against Puerto Rico and unmarried women, the lies about immigrants and crime and even a hurricane, calling Vice President Harris the trash that J.D. Vance said he was going to take out — and by the way, he will never be forgiven for that one. None of that, none of that is exactly something to brag to your grandkids about. While supporters of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz can say they believed in something amazing: that a black and Asian woman could be the president of these United States. And you know what? So did more than 70 million Americans, more Americans than voted for Barack Obama in 2008 or in 2012. So before you sink into despair thinking Trump won some sort of landslide or mandate, never forget that his so-called landslide is winning just slightly over 50% of the approximately 63% of eligible voters who bothered to turn out. This was not a high turnout election, which is actually really unfortunate, because it turns out this was the election that really was the most important election of our lives. Elections are choices, and the majority of your fellow citizens chose this."
