He ran a campaign that's main platform was bringing costs down, and with millions of Americans struggling to make ends meet, it was really appealing. Joe Biden wasn't popular nationwide (About 40 percent approval) and with Harris being his VP, she was attached at the hip to him and it pulled her down.

So, a lot of independent and swing voters fell for Trump's lies. Now that he' s been in office for nearly a year and hasn't done a single thing to try to bring costs down, they're coming around to the fact they were duped.
