He is right though. The impeachment trial is Trump's last, best, chance to win reelection in 2024. I think right now he's done, he's lost just about the entire center and a big part of the right. If the election was held again now Trump loses in a landslide. And this is probably not something that is going to be buried under a new scandal and forgotten, because it struck at the heart of democracy itself.

But if the Senate acquits Trump - then it becomes substantially easier for him to proclaim his innocence and have people believe it. Of course if the Senate convicts Trump then that ends his political career by law. But he would lose anyway without the trial, so his best shot is probably to go to trial and hope 34 Republican senators refuse to convict.

But, at this point I don't believe Trump has been putting much concern to the 2024 election the past 2 months. If he had been thinking rationally about that, he would have conceded immediately, congratulated Biden, and maybe launched his 2024 campaign.
