            In fact, Trump has NEVER won a majority of the popular vote.

              I know people love to repeat that on social media, but he did technically win the popular vote.

              Harris: 75,017,613

              Trump: 77,302,580

                He won a plurality of the popular vote. I said he never won a majority.

            The overall turnout of eligible voters in the 2024 general election was 63.7%.[1] This was lower than the 2020 record of 66.6%[2] but higher than every other election year since at least 2004.

          Well if you take the average American, you have to realize that 50% of us are dumber than that….(edit: if we have an odd number of people in the country or an even number of people it may affect the percent but we can leave Trump administration out of this to seriously improve our numbers, correct me if I’m wrong mathematicians)
