Conventional wisdom has said it’s virtually impossible for a Republican to win the Popular Vote anymore…
In fact, the last time it was done was George W. Bush with his “hanging chads” in 2024, narrowly edging out John Kerry with 50.7% of the Popular Vote.
And almost no one thought it could be done this year in 2024, but they were all wrong.
Donald Trump received nearly 5 million MORE votes than Kamala Harris in the Popular Vote, coming in at 51% vs. 47.5%:
Here’s why it’s so tough for a Republican to pull off the Popular Vote win:
It has become challenging for Republicans to win the popular vote due to a mix of demographic, geographic, and political factors:
- Urban vs. Rural Distribution: Democratic voters tend to be concentrated in highly populated urban areas, while Republican voters are more dispersed in rural areas. This distribution means that even when Republicans win in many states, they often have slimmer margins, while Democrats accumulate large numbers of votes in populous states like California and New York.
- Demographic Shifts: Younger voters, racial minorities, and urban populations—who are more likely to vote Democratic—have grown as a share of the electorate. Republicans have traditionally struggled to attract these groups, who tend to support policies and social issues aligned with the Democratic Party.
- Electoral Strategy: In recent years, Republican campaigns have focused more on securing electoral votes rather than maximizing popular vote totals. This approach prioritizes winning key battleground states, where electoral votes make a larger difference, rather than competing heavily in populous states that lean strongly Democratic.
- Polarization and Regional Realignments: Increasing political polarization has led to strong regional partisan divides. Republican support is strong in the South and parts of the Midwest, while Democrats dominate the Northeast and West Coast. These regional realignments often leave Republicans with a lower nationwide vote total, even if they win a majority of states.
- Suburban Voter Shifts: Suburban areas, historically more conservative or swing areas, have increasingly leaned Democratic in recent years, especially among college-educated voters. This shift has made it harder for Republicans to reach a broader popular base.
And the fact that President Trump just did it with a 5 million cushion shows you the American people just handed him a MASSIVE mandate.
Absolutely massive.
The American people are fed up with our country being destroyed over these last few years….
They’re sick of the inflation.
Sick of all the lies.
Sick of a FAKE Administration.
Sick of being called Garbage and Hitler.
Sick of not having good jobs.
Sick of being fed poison and toxins in our food.
Sick of being sick.
Sick of being tired all the time and unhealthy.
Sick of being told Joe Biden is mentally fit for office.
Sick of seeing Kamala Harris cackle her way through every interview, unable to answer the simplest of questions.
Sick of it all.
And so America FIRED Kamala Harris and the whole damn DemocRAT party, sent them packing! Handed a massive mandate to President Trump, JD Vance, RFK Jr., and Elon Musk!
It was an unexpected and unprecedented CLEAN SWEEP:
CLEAN SWEEP: We Won It ALL — President, House, Senate, Popular Vote!
CLEAN SWEEP: We Won It ALL -- President, House, Senate, Popular Vote!
Getting lost a bit in all the celebration over President Trump winning is one small little detail....
Not only did President Trump win in historic fashion, but it was a Clean Sweep across the board.
This is what you call a "Massive Mandate" by the American People.
The Presidency.
The Senate.
The House.
The Popular Vote.
WE WON IT ALL!
Conventional wisdom heading into the Election was that Trump might win the Presidency and the Senate, but definitely not the House. And definitely not the Popular Vote.
But he did.
And now you are about to see history made these next 4 years as there is NOTHING holding this man back. Nothing.
He has the Supreme Court behind him with a 6-3 split, and often 7-2.
MAGA controls BOTH the House and Senate, so there is no split Congress.
They can push through literally anything they want (and believe me, they will).
Judicial appointments? Check.
Legislation? Check.
Cutting 90% of Government? Check.
Elon and DOGE? Check.
RFK, Jr. making America healthy again? Check.
Folks, I can't quite underscore just how important this is....
There was a possibility that Trump would have gotten in, but been hampered by a split Government and a Congress stopping most of what he wanted to do.
Not now.
Also, in his First Term, he was new to Washington and didn't know who he could trust.
Now with nearly 10 years under his belt, he knows where all the bodies are buried and this time he's coming in with his team of Avengers already assembled.
Trump.
Elon.
RFK.
Tulsi.
Tucker.
Vivek.
Vance.
This time he comes in with no restraints and the Dream Team ready to hit the ground running on Day 1. BEFORE Day 1, even. Because the Transition Team actually started their work BEFORE the Election.
Remember this report from a few days ago?
BOMBSHELL: RFK Jr. Confirms The Trump Transition Team Has Already Started!
And now since we spent so much time looking at Polymarket leading up to the election, I thought I'd just show you a visual depiction of how things ended up....because sometimes pictures are truly worth a thousand words.
Trump wins the Presidency:
In the end, every single Swing State broke for Trump.
All 6 of them:
The morning of the Election, Trump only had a 27% chance of winning the Popular Vote and yet he pulled that off too in the end.
Something NO ONE expected and historically has been almost impossible for a Republican due to current demographics:
And here's my favorite part....
A clean RED SWEEP was thought to not be possible, and yet here it is:
It's a beautiful thing!
