With 99% of the vote in: Trump has 49.9% of the popular vote
Pelosi said 2020 was a MANDATE, so clearly this is a full rebuke of the current admin and a FULL MANDATE.
Winning the popular vote was huge for Trump.
The left are out of excuses. Now they will just claim racism…by the blacks and hispanics that voted Trump?
POPULAR VOTE CRUSH! WOW!
Pelosi? What she actually said:
Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Friday that a disappointing cycle for House Democrats should do nothing to hinder the party’s ambitious legislative agenda, pointing to voters’ historic support for
Joe Biden — who appears on the cusp of the winning the White House — in claiming that Democrats will have greater leverage next year.
“
President-elect Biden has a strong mandate to lead, and he’ll have a strong Democratic House with him,” Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol, predicting a Biden victory.
No networks have projected Biden as the winner, but he has leads in four critical states. If he won them all, he would end up with 306 electoral votes.
Republicans have so far gained seats in the House and look likely to keep their majority in the Senate, though that will depend on who wins what are likely to be two runoff elections in Georgia.
They argue Pelosi will have to bow to those realities while pointing to divisions in Pelosi’s caucus that have been on public display.
Sen.
Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), the majority leader, suggested Friday that October’s employment numbers mean that Congress should enact a smaller coronavirus relief package than the Trump administration had previously backed. And Sen.
Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said the election results indicate Pelosi will have to “give some ground” in those talks.
“Sure she does,” Blunt said, when asked if Pelosi will have to drop some of her demands in the emergency relief package. “And the vast majority of her members also think she has to give some ground here. The liberal agenda was rejected by voters.

“There was no mandate in this election.”
I know it’s hard for the liberals to understand as they continue to wipe away the tears since election night. But Trump kicked yours and your parties ass. The quicker sane Democrats come to terms with that, is when the party can start moving away from the far left and get back to winning.
