Summary
Trumpās popular vote share has fallen below 50% to 49.94%, with Kamala Harris at 48.26%, narrowing his margin of victory.
Trumpās share of the popular vote is lower than Bidenās in 2020 (51.3%), Obamaās in 2012 (51.1%) and 2008 (52.9%), George W. Bushās in 2004 (50.7%), George H.W. Bushās in 1988 (53.2%), Reaganās in 1984 (58.8%) and 1980 (50.7%), and Carterās in 1976 (50.1%).
The 2024 election results highlight Trumpās narrow victory and the need for Democrats to address their mistakes and build a diverse working-class coalition.
The numbers also give Democrats a reason to push back on Trumpās mandate claims, noting most Americans did not vote for him.

Their wood is too soft to stand up to the Republicans, the Democrats need something stronger, like oak or maple.
I kinda like the sound of Maplecrat.
