That's why I'm not counting everyone, just the people that voted.
Winning the popular vote just means winning a plurality of the votes. He got more votes than Harris. Once you account for all the other candidates, though, his total comes out to less than 50% of all the people that voted. No one got a majority.
And in many countries if no one gets a majority there is a runoff. This is another structural problem that the US has.
Got it. Thanks for explaining.
