It makes sense.
The turnout was much higher so there is no conflict in Trump adding to this total but Biden added more.
Remember more people voted against Trump last time as well but this time the Democrats won the Electoral College and last time they didn't.
Turnout was 66.9% this time, 55.5% last time. This is the biggest turnout since 1900.
The Popular Vote last time was:
Clinton: 48.2%
Trump: 46.1%
This time (so far) it's:
Biden: 50.5%
Trump: 47.7%
