"Voters" doesn't always mean "eligible voters". "Those who cast votes in the election under discussion" seems a reasonable sense of the term in this context.

You are correct that he got the plurality and not the majority of the popular vote.



I wasn't referring to eligible voters, I was referring to the voters who cast votes in the election under discussion.


It is obviously not true that only 64% of voters who cast votes in the 2024 election cast votes in the 2024 election, so some meaning slipped here, somewhere.
