Trump’s win was no “landslide”

Trump’s vote share at 49.9% is a fraction below the 50% mark.  My guess is, if Covid-19 hadn’t killed so many anti-vaxxer Republican supporters in the previous two administrations (Trump's followed by Biden's), then Trump would have passed the 50% threshold at the November 2024 elections.


See: James Fitzgerald, “Just how big was Donald Trump's election victory?”  BBC News online, 22 Nov. 2024.
