Donald Trump is one of only two Republican three-time presidential nominee in history.
That achievement was unthinkable in January 2020.
Back then, his personal polls had hit rock bottom after the Jan. 6 Capitol demonstrations.
Republicans had just lost two Senate seats to hard leftists in Georgia.

Over the subsequent two years, a demonized Trump faced four separate criminal proceedings and a civil suit — some of them with the apparent support of the Biden White House.
