The Republicans and their "mandate" has turned out to be a sham.

Turns out Trump had less than 50%... our fucked up system which includes the electoral college showed him winning. However from votes cast, he had 49.8% to Harris' 48.3%

The difference is 1.9% which I assume came from people who voted 3rd party?

Either way, he got close 50 but it sure as hell isn't a mandate from the people. We're a divided nation, almost exactly in half.
