Trump is a failure
Trump's campaign began by months of breaking the law to collect unlimited funds for his political groups to benefit, who else, himself.
Trump left office after four years of bigotry, chaos, and indisputable harm to the country he inherited. His response to the pandemic left 400,000 Americans dead. His horrendous handling of the economy cost 2.9 million Americans their jobs. And his work to rig the federal judiciary cost many Americans their most basic rights - including overturning of Roe v. Wade and the loss of abortion rights for millions.
Trump left office as he came into it - lying and dividing our country. He spent months lying about the election, leading up to a deadly insurrection and since then, New York's Attorney General and the Fulton County district attorney have launched investigations into his misconduct.
To put it simply: we cannot afford the chaos and damage of another Trump presidency.
