Republicans, and espeially Trump supporters, got inoculated for COVID-19 at lower rates and were less likely to survive to vote... or to have their votes counted. The GOP made much of disqualifying the votes of deceased voters who had cast an absentee ballot... and this time a disproportionate number of the absentee votes deleted due to the death of a voter were those of Trump.
The 2020 election was a nail-biter, but without the margin of inoculations, Trump might have won Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin... and still be President. Incumbent Presidents usually get re-elected if they choose to run for re-election. That includes mediocre-to-awful Presidents. Exceptions:
Hoover (faulted for the Great Depression)
Ford (incompetent campaigner)
Carter (bad luck anda changing political culture)
the elder Bush (third term of a tired agenda)
Trump (thoroughly-awful President... but almost got re-elected!)
