NextImg:Karine Jean Pierre downplays Trump's landslide win

Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dismissed President Donald Trump‘s resounding win this past election.

Jean-Pierre gave her post-election analysis for the first time Tuesday since Trump won the popular vote and 312 electoral votes in November 2024. Meanwhile, former Vice President Kamala Harris had fewer votes in 45 states and Washington, D.C., than her predecessor Joe Biden did in 2020.

ABC News’s The View hosted Jean-Pierre in a segment that followed sports commentator Stephen A. Smith, in which Smith claimed Trump had a “mandate.” Smith pointed to Trump’s increases in black and Latin support, but Jean-Pierre told him backstage she disagreed with him “on Donald Trump and his administration having a mandate.”

“We have to be super mindful and careful of this because he does not have a mandate. And what I mean by that is if you look at the numbers, just look at the facts: He won with the smallest margin of the popular vote since the 19th century,” Jean-Pierre said. “There was no coattail, meaning that it is, the house is, at a razor thin, razor thin, and he’s on his way in the first 100 days to be the most unpopular president in the first 100 days. That is not a mandate.”

Republican lawmakers originally had a majority in the House with 220 versus 215 Democratic lawmakers. Since then, Trump poached Reps. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Mike Waltz (R-FL) to be his United Nations ambassador and national security adviser, respectively, making the Republican majority even slimmer.

It was on Jean-Pierre’s shoulders before the election to explain Biden’s poor performance during a presidential debate with Trump. Before Biden dropped out of the race, she would accuse Republicans of creating “manipulated videos” of him.

Jean-Pierre is currently unemployed. When asked last week by a panel at Harvard University if she wanted to make any announcements about her future, she replied, “I’m curious too.”
