The press, social media vibe, and energy has shifted from Trump to Harris, but the polling shows that if the election were held today, Trump would win the electoral college by a landslide and lose the popular vote.
If this holds, it would mean that in 2000, 2016, and 2024 the Republicans won the election despite losing the popular vote. Only one time the Republicans win the election AND a majority of the votes this century, 2004.
What amazes me is how this dynamic is just accepted. This is not a well functioning democracy.
