The hubris is strong with this one too, we are to be humble and learn, while he gets his prayer revelations and “announces” (his words) that Biden will be president.

Some people cling to the idea that everything that happens is somehow God’s will, which flies in the face of both original sin and free will, how can everything bad that happens be God’s will, it is just a basic misunderstanding of the actual situation, that another entity is in charge of this world for the time being, and that God is coming at some point to set things right. That is inconsistent with a concept that everything bad happening under that other entity’s limited control is also God’s will. Either God is ruling and His will is being done, or He is not ruling and His will is not being done.

I suppose there may also be some justification for thinking that in the grand scheme of things, God may have more important things to do than to settle political arguments between the sort of good and the sort of bad, He does seem more likely to get involved if you’re up against a Hitler or a Stalin. But the way these people are going, they are pushing into that domain so maybe it’s in our favor that evil prevails, it might get some attention as there are clearly a lot of other things on the to do list.

"God works in mysterious ways." The notion that what doesn't lkill you, makes you stronger, has a spiritual side too. Uncomfortable times have a way of changing what and how people think, and even what they believe in.
