Clearly, the answer is "not quite enough." However, since Trump only barely lost to Biden, many people have said that this proves how hard it is to defeat an incumbent President. However, I don't really understand this narrative.
After all, I can't imagine anyone saying, "I hate Trump, but I'll vote for him because he's currently President." That just doesn't sound like reasoning any sane person would adopt. Then again, this country's pretty insane, but my point still stands.
What do you all think?
Incumbents can get booted out of office if the economy is doing badly, recent examples : Jimmy Carter and George H.W Bush (Hoover was pre-1945 so not "recent" imo). Trump had the whole COVID catastrophe to deal with.
