Trump won the popular vote 49.9% vs 48.5% for Harris. It doesn’t automatically translate to half the country.

The popular vote does not matter in the US. The electoral college matters.

It kinda does matter because it shows more than half the US are truly sick of the current batch of US politicians and aren't enthused enough to vote for their schtick.
