He promised a lot, including a $2000 covid check (of which he delivered $1400). And he barely scraped by one of the weakest incumbents in modern history. You're not dead in the water with a "let them just say weird shit" strategy, it's just not a very good one.

The covid factor really can't be understated, too. Hard to draw any firm conclusions from 2020 due to that.
