Hillary Clinton’s lead over President-elect Donald Trump in the popular vote now exceeds 2 million, according to reports. Dave Wasserman, of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, said Clinton has received 64,223,958 votes, where Trump has 62,206,395 votes.

Last week on Twitter, Trump wrote: “If the election were based on total popular vote I would have campaigned in N.Y.
