1:12Now PlayingFormer President Donald Trump mentioned during a debate between himself and Vice President Kamala Harris that he received more votes than any other Republican or any sitting president in American history.
“I got more votes than any Republican in history by far. In fact, I got more votes than any president sitting president in history by far,” Trump said.
Trump received about 74.2 million votes in the 2020 presidential election. His opponent, Democrat Joe Biden, received 81.2 million votes, and won the majority of in the Electoral College, clinching the election.
Harris and Trump met for their first and possibly only debate on Sept. 10, hosted by ABC in Philadelphia. Harris replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee this summer after Biden gave a troubling debate performance in June, increasing calls for him to drop out of the race.
According to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll, more than two-thirds of Americans say they will watch all or most of the debate. While many voters have already made up their minds, 14 percent of Americans say the debate will have a great impact on which candidate they choose.
