50.71% (as of the current count) of the electorate voted for Joe Biden.
Reagan got 50.75% in 1980.
Biden and Reagan ran similar campaigns in trying to make people feel good about themselves despite some ugly realities of the time. The last two Presidents to defeat a one-term President after one term for that Party's hold of the White House are Ronald Reagan and Joe Biden.
Amazing coincidence? I hope not
