Is there any semantic difference I am missing here between "win the popular vote" and "win an absolute majority of the popular vote?" Either implies 50%+1 vote?

Third parties, I believe. If libertarians get 15%, Kamala gets 49%, and Trump gets 36%, she's won the popular vote without an absolute majority.
