Based on November's results, Biden earned 306 Electoral College votes to the Republican Trump's 232. Traditionally a formality, the Electoral College vote - set for Monday by federal law - assumed outsized significance because of Trump's unsubstantiated claims of widespread fraud. Never forget that on bizarre tiny desk night Trump said he would leave office if the Electoral College voted for Joe Biden. Dear @realDonaldTrumpThat BS with timing Barr's announcement with Biden's formal victory in the Electoral college doesn't change anything. In 2016, Trump won the Electoral College despite losing the popular vote to Democrat Hillary Clinton by nearly 3 million votes.
