In 2008, then-candidate Barack Obama made history by winning 69,498,516 total votes, according to the FEC — the most of any presidential candidate in history at that time.
Well, now, Obama’s 2008 running mate — Democratic nominee Joe Biden — holds that record.
With 86% of the expected vote reported in our Vote system, Biden currently has 69,543,071 votes, which is 50% of the total vote reported so far.
