Trump’s popularity rating (roughly 41% coming out of the weekend) wouldn’t suggest he has a chance of winning this November; the Democrats are heavily favored at –625 betting odds to win the popular vote. However, Trump and the Republican Party didn’t win the majority of votes in 2016, and four years later, his base in the “red states” is still large enough to pose a serious threat.

Trump also has the advantage that comes with being the incumbent. There are many ways he and his Republican cohorts can push November’s election in their favor, especially with the help of outside forces. But the COVID-19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter movement have taken the wind out of Trump’s sails for now. Saturday’s GOP rally in Tulsa was sparsely attended, and several high-profile Republicans – including Colin Powell – say they’ll vote for Biden.
