There's also the fact that despite the economic recovery post-pandemic, every-day Joes didn't see the recovery in their paycheck - and at the same time, inflation (price gouging, really) was rampant. The salt of the earth tends to vote by their wallet, and wallets were feeling the pinch at election time.

That, plus Democrats' well-known propensity for utter failure at messaging, practically guaranteed a Trump victory.

the biggest argument here is the global anti-incumbency sentiment. Likely due to covid.

COVID and all the resulting economic impacts, whether they were linked in the public's mind or not.
