14. I believe President Biden would have won re-election, considering who he was running against.

The wheels are coming off now, but I think they would have eventually anyway. Trump has never been able to sustain something like this over the long haul, and he's unable to shake the overturning of Roe, the Project 2025 revelations and an overall negative image with high numbers.

But this way, I think we'll get the house and senate too.
