      Trump: 49.8% of popular vote (77,302,580 votes)

      Harris 48.3% of popular vote (75,017,613 votes)

      He won the majority, unless you’re counting spoiled ballots that accomplished fuck all against empowering dictatorship.

        Define words however you want, that doesn’t make it true. A majority is 50%+1. Anything less is a plurality. More people voted for someone other than Trump than those who voted for him.

        Beside the point, the original claim was a majority of Americans, and that isn’t even close to a majority anyways. Even with your funny definitions.
