Yes, a candidate can win after conceding, although it is rare. Concessions are typically made when a candidate acknowledges that their opponent has won, often to promote a smooth transition. However, if circumstances change—such as a significant error in vote counting or legal challenges—there is a possibility for a candidate to reverse their concession and ultimately win the election.

It is possible that a candidate could win the "national" popular vote total but lose the electoral vote total. However, the electoral vote of every state accurately reflects the popular vote within that state. A candidate could win the electoral votes in a large state such as California winning the state by a huge margin. However, the opposing candidate could win the electoral votes in other states because a majority of the voters in those states vote for the opposing candidate.
In a single-member district plurality voting system, a candidate needs to receive more votes than any other candidate to win, but not necessarily a majority of the votes (over 50%). This means that a candidate can win with just the highest number of votes, even if that number is less than half of the total votes cast. This system often leads to situations where a candidate can win despite having less overall support than multiple opponents.
