Former President Donald Trump is facing a phalanx of prosecutors, a suite of Republican contenders vying for the spot above the ticket, an ocean of money from those within and without his party who would thwart his return to the presidency, and an incumbent president presiding over a decently humming economy.
Make no mistake, though: There's still a pretty solid chance he pulls it off and becomes the president again.
Despite the 91 felony charges across multiple indictments, yeah, Trump obviously still has a shot at winning again. An extra 11,000 votes in Arizona, an extra 20,000 votes in Wisconsin, an extra 12,000 votes in Georgia, and Trump wins the 2020 election. We're talking getting 21,000 people to flip their vote in three swing states. The next president will likely have massive impact on the future of the Supreme Court, and that's motivating for lots and lots of people.
Some appear to be getting complacent that Trump is too damaged, or has cultivated too much ill-will, or won't be able to clear a primary and then a general again. That's fanciful thinking, and a second Trump presidency is well within the realm of the possible.
The polling isn't giving Biden an obvious edge
Generally, it's way, way too early to put all your stock in head-to-head polls for an election that's nearly a year away. That said, that conventional wisdom may not entirely apply to this particular race, which is would be a rematch between two of the most recognizable men in the country.
