He got 81 million votes. More votes than Trump ever did. And Trump and the Republicans are still crying about it.

Analysis Summary
Biden did receive 81.2 million votes in 2020, more than Trump's 74.2 million that year or his 77.3 million in 2016 — that part is accurate. But the post omits critical context: Trump has challenged the 2020 results repeatedly across courts and public forums, losing 64 cases, yet continues to do so as of 2026. The FactCheck.org finding shows this talking point is often paired with false claims about Democratic vote totals 'disappearing,' and the post's framing ('still crying') uses dismissive language rather than engaging with the substantive constitutional and electoral questions Republicans actually raise. The raw vote comparison is true but the argument strips away the legitimate disputes about election integrity that persist independently of vote totals.

He got 81 million votes. More votes than Trump ever did.
Biden received 81.2 million votes in 2020. Trump received 74.2 million in 2020 and 77.3 million in 2016. The 81 million figure is accurate but the comparison frame is selective.
Mostly True
Trump and the Republicans are still crying about it.
This is the author's characterization of Republican responses to the 2020 election. Trump has repeatedly challenged the results across multiple venues, making this a fair characterization of ongoing contestation, but the word 'crying' is editorial judgment.
