Trump Won Close Election But Considers It No Limit Mandate

The last three presidential elections have been close. But Donald Trump is treating his election as a landslide. To his numerous legal investigations and threats, he argues, “The voters have spoken.” Shortly after noon January 20, he will sign hundreds of executive orders on the first day as “only a dictator on day one.”

But the election results show he only received 6 more electoral votes than Joe Biden in 2020, got a lower percentage of the vote (49.9%) and fewer total votes. Trump’s vote spread was not only well behind Biden’s but was less than Hillary Clinton’s in 2016. Total voter turnout was lower in 2024 than 2020 and Trump received fewer votes than Biden.
