Matthew Dowd Downplays Trump Winning the Popular Vote: He Didn’t Win the Majority, He Won the ‘Plurality’

EXCERPT:

DOWD: “And the other thing I want to say is, Donald. Trump didn’t have a mandate to do this. That’s what’s so amazing. He actually doesn’t have a mandate at all. He’s going to end up winning by less than a point in a half, which is one of the smallest margins in our history, and he’s not gonna have won a majority of vote. By the time that all the votes are counted, he’s gonna have won a plurality of votes, and a lot of people that voted for him were upset about the economy, were upset about Joe Biden, but they weren’t like, ‘Let’s welcome in a bunch of incompetent, corrupt people,’ that, as I agree with Danielle, it’s just not problematic, it could be potentially exceedingly destructive and hurt a lot of people.”
