The most votes for President, ever.
-
Trump already has that distinction. 137 million votes over 2016 and 2020. Obama comes into 135 million. No matter who wins in November, Trump is sure to pass over 200 million total votes. That is likely to give him the record until our voting age population passes 350,000,000 if we maintain a turnout of ~65%.That’s at least 100 years in the future. So Trump will likely have the most votes in our lives, our children’s lives, and our grandchildren’s lives.

If you’re innumerate and don’t adjust for the number of times he ran you might even think it means something.

And possibly will never win the vote count in a given year

@LuFins-Dad - Biden was on the ticket in 2008 and 2012 too, and of course in 2020, so he has by far more votes than Trump. The vote is for the ticket, not the single person! (pedantic...)

If Kamala-lama-ding-dong loses, I'm sure she'll be the nominee in 2028
Not very likely.
Nominee in 2028 that is.
Agree. I think that there will be a somewhat unknown person. Who could have predicted Trump in 2012. In 2020, who would have predicted Vance would be where he is today.
