from a statistical perspective, the weight is really about 50/50

It’s really not. Republicans have less support from less than 40% of the population, MAGAts are less than 20%. The Electoral College, Gerrymandering, and voter disenfranchisement are the only reason the election is around 50/50.

If the US election was done by a straight popular vote there would have only been a single Republican president since 1990, and it would have been 20 years ago.
