lol no majority of Americans did not Trump. I’m a little high while typing this so please excuse some basic math mistakes I may or may not make.

According to CNN[1], the presidential race ended with Trump getting 52.2% of the votes and Harris getting 46.7%. Which, yeah, if you are using this number alone, the majority did vote for him.

However, that percent only includes those voted. According to USNews[2], 35% of eligible voters chose to skip this election and thus 35% should be added to Harris’ 46.7% to get a full picture on how many 1) voted for Trump and 2) did not vote for Trump.

If you do the math:

Voted for Trump: 53.2% Did not vote for Trump: 81.7% (Harris + Non-Voters)
