I have been logging to post this article on steemit but it took me a longer time to write it. Now let's dive into it.

The fact remains that there were a few key factors that contributed to Donald Trump losing his bid for re-election as President of the United States in 2020:

Fallout from his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic - Trump was criticized for downplaying the severity of the virus initially and for a slow federal response to providing testing and protective equipment. High infection rates and deaths hurt the economy and Trump's approval ratings.
Controversies and divisive rhetoric - Throughout his presidency Trump made inflammatory statements and tweets that energized his base but alienated moderates and swing voters. His first term was marked by numerous controversies that likely turned off some voters.
Changing demographics - Population shifts over the last decade have favored Democrats, with states like Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan going from 'red' to 'purple'. Trump's messaging and policies often alienated minority groups whose share of the electorate was rising.
Joe Biden's moderate appeal - Biden's long career, more centrist policies, and collaborative approach offered a counterbalance to Trump's divisiveness for independents and disaffected Republicans. Biden flipped 5 states Trump won in 2016.
Mail-in voting expansion - The COVID-19 pandemic led many states to expand mail-in voting, which saw high turnout from Democratic voters. Trump frequently attacked absentee voting which may have depressed his own numbers.
Record voter turnout - Biden won over 81 million votes, the most ever for a U.S. presidential candidate. High motivation to vote among Democrats and disapproval of Trump drove this historic turnout.
So in summary, shifting demographics, Biden's appeal, backlash over Trump's leadership, and the expansion of voter access through mail-in ballots all contributed to his defeat after a single term. But of course there are many complex factors behind any national election outcome.
