Trump's Fragile Victory

Trump's claim to a landslide victory is undermined by his narrow margin of popularity, which stands at just 1.6 percentage points, making it the smallest victory in over two decades. Despite securing a trifecta in government, the idea that he possesses a strong mandate is misleading, as his support does not reflect a clear majority of the popular vote. Many voters opted for candidates other than Trump in the last election, underscoring the notion that while he holds office, a significant portion of the electorate does not endorse his leadership. This precarious support raises questions about his authority and the potential vulnerabilities he faces moving forward.
