We "lost by a whisker" in 2020. Actually, Biden defeated Trump, winning 306 Electoral College votes and 51.3% of the popular vote to Trump's 232 electoral votes and 46.8% of the popular vote. That was seven million votes. That is a thumping, not a whisker. www.rawstory.com/karoline-lea...

Biden should have been forced by Democrats to pull out of 2024 race back in 2023. However, the real terrible mistake was that Democrats nominated her in 2026 instead of Biden. Joe would have won in a landslide in 2016, as he did in 2020. Losing to Trump was a horrible mistake.
