Lawrence O’Donnell: ‘Trump Did Not Win a Majority of the Vote’

EXCERPT:

O'DONNELL: "Once again, Donald Trump did not win a majority of the vote. Cook Political Report tells us Donald Trump captured about 77.3 million votes, 49.8%, to Kamala Harris's 75 million votes, 48.3%. 1.5% winning margin for Donald Trump. Another 1.7% of the vote went to other candidates, with almost 3 million people voting for other candidates for president. So once again, most American voters voted against Donald Trump. In the end, the 2024 election was decided by 229,766 votes across Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Joe Biden’s record-high vote count in 2020 of 81 million votes for president remains the most votes ever won by a presidential candidate in American history.”
