despisable

After election night, as it became clear that, despite record turnout for Biden, this wasn’t going to be a landslide repudiation of Trump, some wondered whether Clinton had been unfairly maligned as a uniquely despisable nominee, especially since about 6 million more people cast votes for Trump against Biden than against her.
