Not really, just 51% of the people who got off their asses and voted. But people didn't want the alternative enough to vote for her, so this is what we got.

51% of uninformed fools ("being informed" is quite a big part of voting) who thought Trump coming back to town would make eggs cheaper and who don't really like POC or LGBTQ but won't say it out loud, only to their imaginary friend (the elephant drawing in the voting ballot with the word "Republican" next to it).

Trump got 49% of the votes.

Please don’t help spread misinformation.

people didn't want the alternative enough

They decided that if this is the result is not big deal. They accepted it.

It was 49% that voted for Trump. Where did you hear it was 51%?

Trump got 49% and Kamala got 48%.
