Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz argued Tuesday that the US needs to do away with the Electoral College as Democrats worry about a repeat of 2016 that would see the Harris-Walz campaign winning the popular vote but not the presidency.

In 2016, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by almost three million votes but lost the White House to Donald Trump as she failed to get the necessary 270 electoral votes.
