The November election was the seventh time in eight presidential elections that Republicans lost the national popular vote, and it was a rare loss for an incumbent president. In this installment of the FiveThirtyEight Politics podcast, the crew asks why President Trump lost and considers the challenges facing the GOP electorally. They also check in on FiveThirtyEight’s newly launched polling average of the Senate runoff elections in Georgia.
