2016 Trump won the general election with 304 of the 538 electoral votes, although Clinton won the popular vote by a margin of 2.1%.
Nominee Donald Trump Hillary Clinton
Party Republican Democratic
Electoral vote 304 227
Popular vote 62,984,828 65,853,514

2020 Biden ultimately received the majority in the Electoral College with 306 electoral votes, while Trump received 232.
Nominee Joe Biden Donald Trump
Party Democratic Republican
Electoral vote 306 232
Popular vote 81,283,501 74,223,975

ARIZONA 11 EL V BIDEN 1,672,143 TRUMP 1,661,686 DIF 10457
GEORGIA 16 EL V BIDEN 2,473,633 TRUMP 2,461,854 DIF 11779
Wis. 10 EL V BIDEN 1,630,866 TRUMP 1,610,184 DIF 20,682

You do realize if 6,000 voter in Arizona and Georgia had voted for Trump and not Biden, 12,000 in Wisconsin had voted for Trump and not Biden the electoral vote would of been a tie. A difference of only 24,000 votes. Trump would of had a second term.
Biden would have won the popular vote by a margin of 871,259,501 vs Trump 74,247,975
That is how close the 2024 election was. He didn't need Georgia to find 12,000 votes , he needed 24,000 votes in 3 states changed, that was all.


Arizona 11 1,672,143 - 6,000 = 1666143 1,661,686 + 6,000 =1,667,686 TRUMP by 1,543
Georgia 16 2,473,633 - 6,000 = 2,467,633 2,461,854 + 6,000 = 2,467,854 TRUMP by 221
Wis. 10 1,630,866 - 12,000 =1,618,866 1,610,184 +12,000 =1,622,184 TRUMP by 3,318
BIDEN 306 -37 = 269 trump 232 +37=269

Trumps biggest mistake was not pardoning the J6 rioters. If he had you would see many more MAGA face law enforcement when he is indicted.
