I have no intention in trying to hard to understand this man's logic. Apparently, he saw the possibility of hurting Trump in the swing states. He clearly has no chance of affecting anything in non swing states.

The only guess I have as to why he wants to be on in the non swing states might be that if he garners enough votes, he could deny Harris getting over 50 percent. Obviously, that does not change anything and with the EC Bush won with not only less than 50 percent, but fewer votes than Gore.
