Biden did have a huge raw popular vote total win (I predicted 7 million pre election day, he may get there), but in terms of the electoral college is was even closer (atm, I am waiting for the final vote tallies) than Rump's 77,000 votes in 3 states victory in 2016.

Shift just 45,000 (again, so far, we shall see what the final numbers are) votes spread out in just 3 states as well (AZ, GA, WI) and Trump wins the POTUS.
