Clinton Now Beating Trump by More Than 1.7 Million Votes
Clinton Holds 1.3% Lead Over Trump
A “mandate” for Trump this is not.
Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 presidential election but she’s beating Donald Trump by more than 1.7 million votes, according to the 2016 National Popular Vote Tracker, the source most journalists are relying on.Â
Contrary to some tales, more people voted in the 2016 election than the 2012 election in which President Barack Obama beat Mitt Romney.Â
Of note in 2016, over 7 million people voted for someone other than Clinton or Trump.
Currently, Clinton holds a 1.3% lead over Trump, but on December 20, barring a stunning move, the Electoral College will award the White House to Trump.
