"On election night, Trump was the first to declare his victory as a landslide, claiming an unprecedented and powerful mandate from the American people."
"Republican politicians quickly echoed Trump’s claims, with representatives like Elise Stefanik and Senator John Barrasso labeling it a historic landslide, despite evidence to the contrary."
"The numbers reveal that Trump did not achieve a majority of the popular vote, making his supposed mandate weaker than those of previous winning presidents."
"Despite Trump's claims, the margins of victory were paltry; he won by just 1.6 percentage points, undermining the notion of a sweeping electoral mandate."
