Lets put this in perspective. It's historically very hard to win against an incumbent.

Yes, we didn't get the landslide we wanted. But Biden is going to win as a challenger. Trump is going down in history as one of the very few 1 term presidents.

1. 23 presidents didn't serve 2 full terms. About half of them.

Some of them died in office or chose not to seek re-election rather face a defeat at the ballot box, but still, one-term presidencies are not rare.

We've had 4 two-termers since 1980 (Reagan, Clinton, shrub, Obama) that is unusual in that timespan.
