Trump did win the 2024 presidency, and Republicans did gain the Senate and retain the House, but PolitiFact found his victory was not a landslide by historical standards, with small margins in both the Electoral College and popular vote. The House majority was narrow (220-215), so the landslide framing is contradicted by the sources.

What was said

… i think people are i think because of the level of suppression, it was so big, and in Brazil the Supreme Court became so corrupt and so authoritarian, that people are more revolted now. Yeah, and that's we're and I think that kind of happened in the U.S. In the in the same way in 2024, that, like, people suppressed so much the right that Trump won by a landslide. He won the House, he won the Senate, several state governments. People were more upset, if anything. Yeah.

What we found

Contradicts. PolitiFact concluded Trump's 2024 victory was 'clear, but not a landslide by historical standards,' with margins small even compared with the past quarter century.[1]

Contradicts. CNN described Republicans as having 'narrowly retained control' of the House with a 220-215 split, the tightest House majority in nearly 100 years, which undercuts a landslide characterization of the House result.[2]

Supports. Trump won the Electoral College 312-226 and the popular vote (49.8% to 48.3%), so the core claim that he won the presidency is supported.[3]

Supports. Republicans regained control of the Senate, flipping seats in West Virginia, Ohio and Montana, and won a government trifecta, so the Senate claim is supported.[4][5]

Supports. NACo's post-election summary reports Republicans winning 27 governorships to 23 for Democrats, supporting a Republican gain in state governments.[6]
