They barely scraped out a popular vote win. It's not a "resounding" victory, regardless of what you subjectively experience when you talk about it.

- lotsofpulp 2y agoPopular vote doesn't win President, electoral college does, and that was 312 to 226, not barely, and Dems didn't win a single one of the 7 states that were supposedly in play (GA/NC/PA/MI/WI/NV/AZ). In the legislature, it is almost impossible for Dems to regain control before 2028, as the majority of states electing senators in 2026 are very unlikely to elect a Dem. And I am not optimistic on Dems' chances in the 2026 House: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_divisions_of_United_States_Congresses#/media/File:Combined--Control_of_the_U.S._House_of_Representatives_-_Control_of_the_U.S._Senate.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_divisions_of_United_Stat... As far as I can tell, Repubs have the executive for at least 4 years, the judiciary for who knows how long, the Senate for at least 4 years, and the House for at least 2, if not 4 years. Knowing this, it makes sense why businesses would want to cozy up to Republicans.
