Sean Spicer, chief strategist for the RNC, lashed out at Cuomo on CNN's "New Day" after questions about Trump’s business dealings.
“I get what the press wants, but the American people have understood exactly what they’re getting and they voted overwhelmingly for him," Spicer said. "He has been very clear about what he owns, the role of his family and everything else since he announced that he was running for president, and they overwhelmingly elected him with all of that on the table.”
“You said they overwhelmingly voted for him. There’s no definition of overwhelming that would meet the statistical criteria,” Cuomo said, noting that his margin of victory in the Electoral College was among the lowest in history.
“It wasn’t overwhelming,” he said.
Spicer countered that Trump had a “massive” win due to his success in battleground states.
Trump captured 306 electoral votes — a total of 56.88 percent, which ranks 46th out of 58 presidential elections. Democrat Hillary Clinton
