How/Why Trump Won and Harris Lost

I'm seeing a lot of opinion columns on that subject, but my explanation is just too short for a full op-ed, so I'm making it a blog post. Here's that explanation:

Trump won by getting, and because he got, 312 electoral votes, which is more than the 270 required to win a presidential election.

Harris lost by getting, and because she got, 226 electoral votes, which is less than the 270 required to win a presidential election.

Hope that clears things up for anyone who's confused.
