But Donald Trump did not, contrary to what he and the vice president want people to believe, win by anything close to a landslide. As this chart shows, out of a total of 155,238,302 votes, Mr. Trump won 77,302,000, or 49.8%. Kamala Harris won 75 million, or 48.3%. President Trump won, but just slightly over 2 million votes more than Kamala Harris. The difference between them was one and a half percent of the popular vote. (00:38–00:44)
