So he won by 1.6% of the popular vote… not quite the landslide that they’re claiming
Over at X, Trump supporters trolled us to tell us that Trump won in a landslide. We knew he didn’t and Chris Hayes has got the stats to prove it.

Trump supporters continue to lie, so here’s some facts. They hate facts.

It should end the MAGA mandate myth. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...
Chris Hayes: The final 2024 election tally is almost in. It should end the MAGA mandate myth.
There’s going to be a reckoning about the distance between what the swing voters who gave Trump this majority were voting for and what they’re about to get.

Honestly the most DQ'ing thing I've seen about Harris is how she's stayed in dignified silence as everyone trashes her campaign. She stepped up at short notice when the party needed her, saved scores if not hundreds of down ballot colleagues who would have gone down with Biden & is getting no thanks
"While pundits have busied themselves over the past 10 days nitpicking Kamala Harris’s campaign, one thing is abundantly clear: She was held to the highest standards of leadership while Trump was held to no standard at all."

Her rise and fall illustrates the Glass Cliff.

-Claimed we've seen no increase in extreme weather events.
