House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday recounted that President Trump opened his first meeting with congressional leaders in January with a flat assertion that he, in fact, won the popular vote in the November election.
"First thing he says to open the meeting: 'You know, I won the popular vote,'" Pelosi recalled on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
Trump has often boasted about the size of his Electoral College victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton in November, although Clinton ultimately won the popular vote by nearly 3 million ballots cast.
The president has also said that he would have won the popular vote as well, if millions of people had not voted illegally. There is no evidence, however, suggesting that millions of ballots were improperly cast and voter fraud remains rare in the U.S.
