President Trump Has Reportedly Also Won The Popular Vote!

While watching President Trump’s victory speech on stage with his family and campaign members, I am blown away to find out that he has indeed won the popular vote — according to multiple reports.

If this holds true — and I am seeing reports that even if every remaining vote was for Kamala, it would still be true — that would mean President Trump has made history multiple times tonight with this win!

According to a report in Newsweek, he is in fact on track to make history in more ways than one.  Not only is he only the second President in U.S. history to win non-consecutive terms, but he is also apparently going to be the first Republican President in 20 years to win the popular vote as well as the electoral vote.

Not only would Trump win the Electoral College, but also the popular vote—the first time a Republican has done so since President George W. Bush won re-election in 2004, beating Democratic challenger John Kerry. Bush won around three million more votes than Kerry while also taking 286 Electoral College votes.

In subsequent elections, the Democrats won the popular vote, even when Donald Trump won the Electoral College in 2016 and defeated Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

Bush also won his first election by winning the Electoral College while losing the popular vote, making his 2004 popular vote win an outlier. President Bill Clinton won the popular vote in each of his election bids.

President George H.W. Bush won the popular vote in 1988 with a margin of nearly eight million votes over Democratic candidate Michael Dukakis.

As of 1:30 a.m. ET on Nov. 6, Trump had the lead over Harris by about 4.9 million votes. The outstanding votes in the remaining states make it unlikely—if not outright impossible—for Harris to overtake Trump in the popular vote even if she were to win all of the remaining votes.

WATCH NOW: Trump Is Set To Give Victory Speech In Florida

According to a report in The Telegraph on Yahoo News, the implications of winning the electoral college, the popular vote, and potentially the House and the Senate, is nothing short of a powerful mandate to enact the agenda he campaigned on -- and President Trump is already aware of that fact.

Donald Trump has claimed victory in the US presidential election as early results pointed to a landslide for the Republican party.

Addressing supporters in Florida, Trump hailed a “magnificent victory for the American people that will allow us to make America great again”.

“We are now winning in Michigan, Arizona, Nevada and Alaska which would result in us carrying at least 315 electoral votes,” he said.

As well as the presidency, Trump is leading in the popular vote and Republicans are ahead in the race for both the Senate and the House, in what would be a stunning clean sweep.

“America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate, we have taken back control of the Senate - wow.”

As of 2:15 CST there has been no additional word from the Kamala campaign since they sent everyone home and told staffers to wait until after 3am to learn more from the results.  This will be a developing story throughout the day, and I am eager to find out if Kamala will concede defeat in a phone call to her opponent -- as has been the custom for decades -- or if she will attempt some manner of trickery, even with President Trump's victory so certain.  For all our sakes, I pray she concedes quickly.  God forbid what would happen if she does not.
