He scraped by in 2016 because people didn’t like Hillary Clinton.

In 2020, Joe Biden won because people hated Trump and not necessarily because they liked Joe Biden.

In 2024, on Trump’s 3rd try, people wanted him for the first time rather than voting against someone. People voted for him because they wanted him.
