Donald Trump’s victory in 2016 and Joe Biden’s in 2020 were by the same electoral vote margin, 306 to 232, according to the preliminary tally.
But in the Electoral College, which is the official count, Trump won just 304 electoral votes in 2016 because two Texas electors cast their votes for John Kasich and Ron Paul.
There were no “faithless electors” in 2020, so Biden won 306 electoral votes.
