No, Chuck Todd on MSNBC just now, TSF's win is not more of a "mandate" win

Than was Biden’s or the biggest win of the “Trump era”—unless you consider an “era” two disjointed times—2016-2019 and 2024.

Biden won by more than 7 million votes. TSF may hold on to 1.7 million votes more than Harris, much smaller than the Biden margin, and another 1.7 million or so voted 3rd party. And let’s not forget about the huge number of non voters.

Mostly, they haven't had a true "mandate" since Reagan.

The map looks so ridiculous with only 4 states from the Atlantic coast to the west coast.
