Claim: The general election in the U.S. on Nov. 2, 2024, will mark exactly 20 years since a candidate for the Republican Party won the popular vote in a presidential election. Sir, the Republican Party hasn't won the popular vote in 20 years." It's true the Republican Party had not won the popular vote in a presidential election in nearly 20 years. Republicans Haven't Won Popular Vote in 20 YearsAgain, Lawrence's post correctly stated that a Republican candidate for president had not won the popular vote in 20 years. That year, Americans held Election Day on Nov. 2, meaning Nov. 2, 2024, will mark exactly 20 years since the last time Republicans won the popular vote.
