Hillary wins re-election in 2020, because Trump runs as a third party candidate. The national GOP is split between insane (pro-Trump) and establishment (anti-Trump) wings. The only thing the GOP agrees on is how horrible President Clinton and the Democrats are. At the Congressional level, the GOP controls both houses of Congress; the split only had major impacts on the Presidential race as the pro-Trump wing has neither the organization nor desire to run third party in Congressional races. (There's the occasional loss because a Trump candidate drove away moderates and independents, or where an establishment candidate alienated the Trump-base.)
COVID deaths were under half of what they were in our timeline due to better response, but President Clinton gets little credit and is extremely unpopular. Criticism of both her pandemic response and governing choices are widespread. Congressional focus for the last 4 years has been on investigating, impeaching, and impeding the Clinton administration. Fox News is all Clinton, all the time. Many Democrats blame her for leading the party to electoral disaster.
