Even the popular vote was the biggest landslide in ... the last 8 elections I think?

Absolutely not. Trump got 49.9% to Harris’ 48.3, he didn’t even get the majority.

Biden was 51.3 to Trump’s 46.8 in 2020.

This was not a landslide. Trump did not get the majority of votes.

He has much less of a “mandate” than Biden did.
