Of course that is objectively false.

“Former Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday repeated her false claim that the 2024 presidential election was the “closest” in the 21st century, saying this means President Donald Trump doesn’t have “a mandate.”

“Harris made the remark during a speech in Houston, Texas, while promoting her new book, 107 Days. She commended her campaign for an “unprecedented” short run against Trump, saying Trump has been running for office “for 10 years.””

 
Democrat = virtue signaler = con artist.

Technically, the year 2000 was part of the 20th century.....if that is what your MAGA cry baby rant is about.
 
What's the closest election of the 21st century?

Hmm…

The closest presidential election of the 21st century was actually in 2000, when George W. Bush faced off against Al Gore. Bush lost the popular vote by roughly 500,000 votes, but won the Electoral College with 271 votes against Gore’s 266.


Of course, Harris did not lose the closet election of the 21st Century. Trump beat Harris in the electoral college last year, 312-226, which was the widest margin this century beyond former President Barack Obama’s two presidential victories in 2008 and 2012.

 
Trolling your own thread?

Why don't you just answer the ****ing question.
Don’t choke on the spoon.

“In reality, the closest election of the century was former President George W. Bush’s 271-266 electoral college win over former Vice President Al Gore.

The 2020 election was also slimmer, with former President Joe Biden garnering 74 more electoral votes than President Donald Trump, while he received 86 more electoral votes than Harris in 2024.

In reality, Harris lost every single swing state, failed to flip even a single county in her direction, and became the first Democrat in two decades to lose the popular vote.”

 
Of course that is objectively false.
Her claim is technically true, since the popular vote margin was closer than any election since 2000.

But that's because Democrats usually win the popular vote. So what she's really saying is that she did worse than any Democrat since John Kerry. If that's the cope she's going with, it's really bad cope.

Again....the year 2000 was technically the 20th century. That's probably what Harris was referring to. --

The 20th century began on 1 January 1901 (MCMI), and ended on 31 December 2000 (MM).

 
I’ll give her a pass. She was most likely drunk on wine.

Yep. First Democrat in 2 decades to lose the popular vote

Funny but when Trump does that he is an election denier and needs to be arrested and charged. If Harris or a democrat does it, it's OK.

2020 was a landslide, second only Obama '08 in the 21st century.
 
It was the slimmest margin of victory since the 1960's, the 21st century is the 2000's, so she'd be right.
Unless you want to count elections that the electoral vote winner lost the popular vote.

You seem to have no problem with the misinformation Trump says about the elections in 2020 and 2024.
Since you accept his lies, why do you have a problem with what Harris says?
 
Wow. An entire thread because someone doesn't know that the year 2000 was the last of the 20th century. Glad we're focused on the important issues.
 
By the popular vote she is not far off. Trump won that by about 1.6%.
Trump won the electoral college but by margins that put it in the middle of the pack historically.
 
Of course that is objectively false.

I am guessing you are terrible at numbers and remedial math!

fortunately for you, there are books and YouTube videos for that!

please get some help!

The paywall prevents me from seeing whether she was referring to the popular or electoral college vote. Which was it?
