CNN undercuts Trump's 'landslide' boast – and adds a warning

Raw Story  

Boasts by Donald Trump and his allies that he was swept back into office in a "landslide" does not hold up under scrutiny based upon an analysis by CNN's Zachary Wolf who also noted that the numbers suggest there are warning signs on the horizon in the 2026 midterms. With Tuesday's votes still being tabulated, the Electoral College tally is unlikely to change, with the president-elect landing 312 EC votes which, according to the CNN analyst: "It’s a solid win, but in the lower half of US presidential elections." It would also outperform both of George W. Bush’s electoral victories in 2000 and 2004," he wrote before adding, " But it would be far short of Barack Obama’s 365 electoral votes in 2008 and 332 in 2012. Those numbers pale next to fellow Republican Ronald Reagan's 1984 total of 525 electoral votes as well as 58% of the popular vote.
