This vote alone is a dangerous endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s health misinformation and lies. How many lives are Republicans willing to risk for this nominee? The Senate must not confirm RFK Jr. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

I’m so tired of this ‘mandate’ BS and ‘the American people said…’ nonsense.
Trump didn’t win a majority of the popular vote, and beat Harris by one of the smallest popular vote margins (1.5%) in US history. If you factor in turnout, he got the votes of less than 1 in 3 eligible voters in the US.
