CNN host fact-checks Trump for 'claiming a popular vote victory that did not occur'

Raw Story  

CNN host Jim Acosta fact-checked President-elect Donald Trump for insisting he won over 7 million more votes than Vice President Kamala Harris. "And he is claiming a popular vote victory that did not occur — did not occur to the size he said it, he may very well have a popular vote victory when all the votes are counted." CNN analyst David Chalian acknowledged that Trump would likely be able to claim a popular vote victory when all the votes were counted. "I would imagine the national popular vote will continue to narrow in margin, though it looks like Donald Trump will indeed have this new victory that he did not have the last time around," Chalian said.
