If the suggestion bothers you that Trump might have won if not for the Lib candidate, consider this:

So far Joe Biden has won more of the popular vote than Trump and all other presidential candidates combined.

2020 National Popular Vote Tracker

Total votes = 153,578,493
Biden votes = 78,071,608 or 50.83%
Trump votes = 72,699,572 or 47.34%
Other votes = 2,807,313 1.83%

Trump + others = 75,506,885

Joe Biden has 2,564,723 more votes than Trump and all other presidential candidates combined.

I hope the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact eventually prevails.
