The election wasn't close.
It was very close, another repub removing reality and substituting their own. Trump won Mich by 10 k. He carried the 3 important industrial states by under 80K accumulated. Voter suppression can account for that. So can Russian interference. It was a very close election and Trump had fewer votes. The cold hard fact is Trump squeaked by with weird circumstances. Of course, his inept presidency is not expanding the brand,. He needs every single right-wing voter to show up at the polls. I think many will stay home to end his drama and lies. He embarrasses so many Americans.
