So in 4 years time, if Trump has clearly failed in his second term, when Reps blame Biden's economy, the Dems will just blame Trump.

Waaaaaait a second...

If one of the main complaints about his failure will be the economy, then sure.
Though I think the traditional Republican tax cuts for the ultra wealthy are one of the main factors, and differs from traditional Democratic spending bills in that the money from the tax cuts are not invested into the public, but into the pockets of billionaires who just sit on a large portion of it.

Well the Dems and MSM did deny Trumps economy up until about the last year during the election. Then some finally started acknowleding it.

The billionaires won't just sit on most of it if it's worth it to invest it back into the American economy. Trump also understood that was necessary in 2016 if he was going to go the tax cuts route. He talked about bringing back offshore money by making it worth it.

Hopefully the final numbers in the end make more sense, because otherwise you can't help but wonder.

The bellwethers haven't been wrong in a really long time, besides 2020.

I went over it a bit at the top of this post, and I think IkePoR explained it well a few pages back.
There are many million more votes left to be counted. Around 9 million more will come in from California for example, which is currently at 55% counted.

The lines should allign much closer in the end. But there will be a drop in turnout for blue.

This would put most as ease, though I've already seen conspiracy theories suggesting the reason some states are taking so long is because they're purposely closing that total vote gap to cover it up. I haven't seen any hard evidence of that, so it's just another of the many conspiracy theories that never seem to stop.
