Idk if it was a slam dunk tbh. The inflation from COVID was unavoidable. The Biden admin did what they could do but way too many folks felt like they weren’t being heard for the past four years in that regard. Not to mention the stamina of Trump’s campaign. He. Never. Stopped.
I think you’d have to go pretty far back (like nominating literally anyone but Hillary Clinton in 2016) to set up last night as a slam dunk for the Democrats. If anything, they had everything stacked against them.
