I’ve always read about the incumbent advantage, but I don’t understand why that would exist. Wouldn’t an incumbent have to demonstrate what s/he has accomplished in office versus a newcomer who could make any claim since the burden of proof won’t be on them?
You should watch the movie The Distinguished Gentleman. Eddie Murphy wins an election bc he has the same name as a dead guy and people were just like “I recognize the name, I’ll vote for him.”
