When people talk about how many more people voted for trump in 2020 than 2016 they don't mention that 23 million fewer people voted in 2016 (136,669,276) than 2020 (159,690,457). Trump had 62,985,106 votes in 2016 and around 73.9 in 2020 whereas the votes for the Democrats candidate went from 69.5 to 80 million. Of course, it's only the Electoral college totals that matter, but the electoral college is still made up of the total votes in individual states, so if even only a few thousand voters here and there in those make-or-break individual states swing from R to D, or even just stay home, then Biden wins the popular vote AND the electoral college again.
