Trump AG Bondi Claims Trump Won ‘Overwhelming Majority’ to Fox News — He Did Not
Trump Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo that President Donald Trump won “an overwhelming majority” — but he did not. Nor did he win an underwhelming majority, or any level of “whelming.”
Bondi was a guest on this week’s edition of Fox News Channel’s Sunday Morning Futures, during which Bartiromo asked Bondi about the blizzard of legal challenges facing the Trump administration — which she cast as “resistance” by judges to Trump’s actions.
In her response, Bondi extolled Trump’s election results, but falsely characterized the win as “an overwhelming majority”:
BARTIROMO: Well, it’s just extraordinary to me that you have got this resistance coming back. We saw the resistance in President Trump’s first term.
But then, after that massive win in November, where he won the popular vote and all the swing states, and yet now the judicial part of the branches are getting involved. Are you surprised by these judges, not just Boasberg? We have got three others complaining about no men in women’s sports and the DOGE cuts.
Broadly speaking, give us a sense of how you’re looking at all of this resistance.
BONDI: Oh, broadly speaking, we are fighting back every step of the way. We are in court every day fighting against these activist judges. We’re not going to stop.
Many of them should be recused from these cases. They will be recused from these cases. We’re appealing them. Look at Chutkan. Look at Judge Chutkan with the EPA trying to control our money, Judge Chang trying to control the money of the USAID.
Judge Reyes, look what she did to Pete Hegseth. She made personal attacks in court about Pete Hegseth. And she’s trying to control military readiness. You can’t do this, and then, of course, Boasberg trying to control our foreign policy. These judges are out of control. We are going to fight back and we are going to win.
And the Supreme Court will be ready to hear these cases. Again, these are federal district judges who are trying to control our nation’s agenda. And, yes, President Trump won the popular vote by an overwhelming majority.
BARTIROMO: Yes.
BONDI: He won the Electoral College. And the people of America want change. And these judges, just they — they are losing. And they realize that. And we are going to win.
The political world was stunned by Trump’s surprisingly decisive victory in the presidential election, but the size of that victory narrowed considerably as the votes were counted. In the final analysis, Trump earned 49.8 percent to then-VP Kamala Harris’s 48.3 percent — hardly “overwhelming” but definitely not a “majority.”
