    I honestly don’t understand what’s different this time. He massively lost the popular vote both other times. Now he’s more popular?

      Not really, not all the votes are in yet, but he actually is polling behind his vote total from last time, 70M to 74M.

      It’s Harris that saw a steep drop-off in support. Biden got 81M votes, Harris so far only has 66M. The final amount will be higher, but there is a clear enthusiasm gap. Almost 1/6 of Biden voters simply didn’t show up. That makes it hard to win.
