He had less than 50% of votes. Saying "most voters wanted him" is demonstrably incorrect.

Donald Trump
76,856,362 votes (49.9%)
Kamala Harris
74,320,684 votes (48.3%)

What definition are you working from for "most", because you seem to be meaning it in a far more semantically strict way than I have seen before
