Trump got 49.8% of the vote. 50.2% went to other candidates (48.32% Harris, 0.56% Stein, 0.49% Kennedy, 0.42% Chase, 0.42% others). If anyone is curious, here are the Presidents since the 19th century who got at least 50% of the vote: Biden Obama (both terms) Second Bush (second term) First Bush Reagan (both terms) Carter Nixon (second term) Johnson Eisenhower (both terms) Second Roosevelt (all four terms) Hoover Coolidge Harding Taft First Roosevelt McKinley The lowest since 1900 is Wilson's first term at 41.8%, followed by Clinton's first term at 43%, Nixon's first term at 43.4%, and Trump's first term at 46%. You might think that Wilson at 41.8% must have lost the popular vote but actually he beat the person with the second highest popular vote total by over 14%. That was back when the US had more than two viable parties. The vote went 41.84% to Wilson (Democrat), 27.4% to Teddy Roosevelt (Progressive), 23.17% to the incumbent Taft (Republican), 5.99% to Debs (Socialist), and the rest to a few others. Similar with Clinton's 43%. That was about 5% more than second place. That year Ross Perot running as an independent got 18.91%. Same with Nixon. His 43.42% was the biggest slice of the popular vote, followed by Humphrey at 42.72%. George Wallace running for the American Independent party got 13.53%.
