2020 Popular Vote
The 2020 United States presidential election was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. The Democratic nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, defeated the incumbent Republican President Donald Trump in both the Electoral College and the popular vote.
Biden received 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232. He also won the popular vote by a margin of over 7 million votes, receiving 81.2 million votes to Trump’s 74.2 million. This was the largest margin of victory in the popular vote since 1984, when Ronald Reagan defeated Walter Mondale by over 16 million votes.
The 2020 election was one of the most closely contested in recent history. The results were not known definitively until several days after the election, as several key states were still counting votes. In the end, Biden won the election by a comfortable margin, but the results were still much closer than many had expected.
There were a number of factors that contributed to Biden’s victory. First, Trump was a deeply unpopular president. He had the lowest approval ratings of any president in modern history, and his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic was widely criticized. Second, Biden was able to unite the Democratic Party behind him. He ran on a moderate platform that appealed to both progressive and moderate Democrats, and he was able to avoid the infighting that had plagued the Democratic Party in previous elections. Third, Biden benefited from a strong economy. The economy had been growing steadily since Trump took office, and this helped to boost Biden’s approval ratings.
The 2020 election was a historic one. It was the first time that a Democratic presidential candidate had won the popular vote by more than 7 million votes since 1984. It was also the first time that a Democratic presidential candidate had won the popular vote by more than 5 million votes since 1976. The election was a clear rejection of Trump and his policies, and it represents a new chapter in American history.
