I saw someone theorizing that this helps Republicans down ballot. They give the Dems the presidency, but having more Republicans showing up to vote helps house/senate/whatever local elections swing Republican.

Very spicy take: This helps Donald Trump because it reinforces the idea that Donald Trump is not colluding with the uniparty establishment.

Liberal protection clause: I do not support Donald Trump.

That's actually an interesting idea. Since they're going to continue to control the Supreme Court anyway they can continue to implement their policy goals on the state level even if they don't have the Presidency.
