It seems pretty clear what the results will be; anything else is wishful thinking.

Biden and Trump are WAY ahead of any other nominee, so they will probably run against each other.
In the last four years, despite many people coming to dislike Biden, it seems that there was an increase of many more never-Trumpers, but not many more never-Bideners.

Consequently, if Biden won last election, there isn’t much of a reason for him to lose this time.
If he stole last election, there isn’t much a a reason for him not to steal it this time.

The best hope for Trump would be a third party. While they wouldn’t win presidentship, it could take many votes away from Biden, paving the way for Trump.

Something to think about is what will happen if (when?) Trump loses the election.
Is it possible that he would incite something terrible? Even without much incitement from his part, we saw January 6. Trump had to remain (somewhat) diplomatic since (a) he still had a chance to win 2024, and (b) he wanted to stay out of jail.

This election, Trump (probably) has neither of these incentives, and it’s possible that in his self-centered rage (which is definitely not foreign to Trump’s character, whether you hate him or love him) he could incite something never seen before.

He has enough supporters who would go through fire and water for him even if he would “stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody.”

Could we possibly see something similar to the BLM riots, but this time by people who own (lots of) guns?

I just pray that he won’t direct any anger at the “Jewish traitors” that he often complains about… We know who usually suffers first from political unrest, may Hashem protect us…

These are just my thoughts. I wonder what others have to say about this
