Pardon the potentially stupid question, but this would technically qualify to be called a landslide victory, wouldn't it? I haven't been able to find any hard criteria for what constitutes a landslide other than "overwhelmingly higher support versus the competition" but this seems to fit the bill.
There's no reason not to call it a landslide.
Landslide is a stretch.
''Sweeping all swing-states'' is enough of a description in a ~50.8% vs ~48% ( they are still counting somehow ) thin popular vote victory.
I think that taking every swing state and winning the popular vote (which Republicans typically lose) counts as a landslide. It's not a 1984 Reagan/Mondale landslide, sure, but it still counts.
It is a complete fucking landslide. Popular vote, electoral vote, Senate majority (not a supermajority unfortunately), House majority.
The term they use is saying he essentially has a mandate for the next administration. He can do whatever the fuck he wants because he doesn't have a house or Senate blocking him.
