It will have everything to do with how confident he is in the success of the Republican Party's ongoing efforts to rig the ballot collection and vote counting systems by obedient fellow American democracy-hating Repub Trumpster state officials in enough states to ensure he will be declared "the winner" no matter how many millions more Americans legitimately voted for the Dem or how many more Electoral College votes above 270 that Dem would have gotten had all the legitimate votes been collected and counted in a timely manner by people who are in favor of American democracy rather than dictatorial one Party, one dictator rule.

My link was about California being the only state to earn the CDC's Moderate rating for "Infection Transmission" of Trump's Pandemic virus. His was about which state has the lowest number of new cases at the moment and so on. On that count California does rank very, very low in new cases and I thank him for providing a link for it.
I also assume that is one of the factors the CDC applied to giving California that enviable Moderate rating above all other states; i. e. very low new case rates despite having several of the most densely populated cities in the country, high traffic major domestic and international airports, high levels of domestic and international business and tourist traffic, perhaps even factoring in the average number of students per university classrooms, whatever. Factors that were always significant regarding rates of infection from the very beginning but that none of those sparsely populated Red States with virtually none of those other factors at play wanted to acknowledge back when their rates of infection were not skyrocketing as they did since.
Hospitalizations? He tried to misdirect to the fact that his link showed California's hospitalization rates were higher than most. But I don't see how high hospitalization rates say anything at all about a state not handling Trump's Pandemic as well as other states, if not better than other states. Why doesn't it tell us that state is handling Trump's Pandemic better than most in that they have plenty of hospital beds, rooms and staff to take care of anybody who needs hospitalization? Unlike states such as Florida that had to request emergency assistance from other states for beds and staff to deal with their overrun hospitals and poor handling of Trump's Pandemic.
And, remember, it is very likely many Repub Trumpsters in Red States who got infected with Trump's Pandemic virus at one or more of his sucker fund raising super spreader MAGA events would probably choose to remain hidden in their trailer, crawling around on their belly in the throes of a horrible, lonely death rather than seek medical help for it from scientists in an institute of science (doctors and nurses in a hospital) where they would most certainly be required to wear a mandated face mask and therefore might be mistaken for a pro-science, educated Democrat.

Per Wikipedia: "In 2007, he was convicted on four counts of fraud in USA District Court in Chicago. While two of the criminal fraud charges were overturned on appeal, a conviction for felony fraud and obstruction of justice was upheld in 2010 and he was re-sentenced to 42 months in prison and a fine of $125,000. In 2018, Black wrote a flattering biography of USA President Donald Trump. In 2019, Trump granted him a presidential pardon."

I have a link for it:
GOP faces massive realignment as it sheds college-educated voters.
The data suggest that what we are seeing might be more than just a sudden Democratic edge in party affiliation.
April 18, 2021
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/mee...oters-n1264425
...Data from the Pew Research Center show that, increasingly, different people are populating the two major political parties with Republicans and Democrats moving in sharply different directions among college-educated voters.
At the beginning of this century, Republicans held an 11-point edge on party affiliation among college-educated voters. By the time Barack Obama was president, the figures had flipped to become a 4-point edge for the Democrats. And as President Donald Trumps term was winding down, the numbers had come full-circle and the Democrats had a 13-point edge among college-educated voters on party affiliation.
...
Let's look and listen to the man that educated, worldly Repubs with common sense voted for recently. Twice. And, yes, possibly twice each in just the one most recent election as Trump suggested his Repub electoral base ought to do:

But your link states a 26% decline in the daily average over the past 2 weeks for California vs a 23% decline for Connecticut. It could be as of today the greater decline momentum for California has taken it below Connecticut's.
Btw, my link is about California being the only state earning the CDC's "Moderate" transmission levels and risks rating, which isn't exactly the same as an "Average new cases per 100,000" rate your link is about.

I guess the familiar adage still applies; "If you are not a liberal when you are young, you have no heart. And if you are a conservative when you are older, then you should send back your Social Security checks uncashed, never accept Medicare payment for your hospitalization and are only asking to die a horrible and lonely death from Trump's Pandemic virus for your stupidity, sucker."

There's an old saying "If you are not a liberal when you are young, you have no heart. And if you aren't a conservative when you are older, you have no brain. " Some people grow older but not wiser, those are modern day Democrats who are old enough to know better but don't.
Let's talk with a few Biden voters.
