Really good point.
I think some of these statements by President Trump are schtick and an act to maintain his relevance in the culture. I don’t know that he has any empirical data that shows that Youngkin would have lost by 15 points - it’s just the way he talks.
He has a role to play in American politics. I do think he learned a valuable lesson about how best to help some candidates during an election - such as he does not need to campaign on the ground to get his point across.
That is hopeful. Since Terry Mc seemed to run against Trump, he was wise not inject himself too far into Youngkin’s campaign. Youngkin ran on Trump’s policies which is so Important
