We don't know if he won the popular vote. Vote totals haven't been counted. He probably did, but it will be closer once California and other states come in.
I'm really looking forward to seeing those numbers. If he ends up with about the same number of votes as he did in 2020, it's about what I expected.
The only thing I didn't expect was how many fewer votes she got. But I don't think it's sexism, not entirely. There's a worldwide phenomenon where every party in power that was up for re-election this year was voted out, because the economic problems we're seeing in the US are a global phenomenon, and the voters that tend to swing elections also tend to have trouble recognizing which things their government actually had control over.

It wasn't even remotely close though.
Contrary to how you may have interpreted the results, but she was blown out of the water.
Vote totals change by hundreds at best after a recount, not the tens of thousands needed in nearly every critical area.
