Factually, that’s what he did during his time in office as well. I’m not sure what they thought had changed.

    Republicans get candidate they’re excited for. Dems get candidates we can hold our noses for (hopefully)

    It’s a bigger reason why we still have republican presidents than the electoral college.

    I’m not sure where your picture came from. Or why it’s combining 2 elections a line or why it’s numbers are wrong.

    But 60% for presidential years is pretty normal.

    08 got a bump from Obama running, and 2020 got a bump because trump was the incumbent. 2024 will likly be above 2020 still. But that’s because compared to trump or Biden, Kamala is an amazing candidate. If we had known it would be Kamala, I think she wouldn’t get the numbers she’s about to
