Having spent about forty hours looking through fraud allegations, I’m convinced Biden won and Trump lied, i.e. he knows he lost, but publicly maintains he believes he won as a political ploy. Every one of his advisors who had to testify under oath has admitted to being unable to prove fraud. But to preserve his political viability, to get a second chance for the 2024 primaries, he had to insist that he really won. Not the first time a pol has lied, won’t be the last. And it worked for him, so can’t argue with that.

People keep pointing to Trump rally size, but the fact is rally size means very little for get-out-the-vote (GOTV) drives. People who show up for rallies are already voting for the guy. A pol who does big rallies is just wasting his supporters’ time and his own campaign money. Traditional GOTV involves paying canvassers to get voters to the polls. Trump’s rallies were expensive, with one in Tulsa costing $2.2m. That could have paid for 100,000 canvasser hours.

Trump is back to his big rally antics again, spending huge sums to not move the needle. Biden is likely counting on GOTV to close the gap. And he will once again have a big money advantage for hiring canvassers.

Biden’s problem is that he is the incumbent in a period when many people feel worse off. The blank slate he had working for him in 2020 is in the rear view mirror. Many middle of the road people who picked him in 2020 now have buyer’s regret. So many of the people he helps bring to the polls in 2024 might end up voting against him.
