 The final two panels again show how, no matter which candidate won in 2020, it would be a 'first' in some way.
-* No sitting president who was impeached was even nominated for the office again until Donald Trump. (Only two other US presidents have been impeached. Bill Clinton couldn't run again afterward due to term limits, Andrew Johnson failed to be nominated at the 1868 Democratic Convention.) After the election, it remains true that no impeached president has ever been re-elected. (As of July 2024, Trump is considered the Republican nominee, should he win that election, this statement could become false, depending on how exactly one interprets it.)
+* No sitting president who was impeached was even nominated for the office again until Donald Trump. (Only two other US presidents have been impeached. Bill Clinton couldn't run again afterward due to term limits, Andrew Johnson failed to be nominated at the 1868 Democratic Convention.) Until the 2024 election, it remained true that no impeached president has ever been re-elected. After Trump's 2024 election victory, it now depends on whether you count the phrase "No President" to only apply to sitting presidents.
 * Prior to the 2020 election, no challenger with a website ever won. This, however, is easily explained by the fact that incumbent presidents usually win, and websites are a fairly new technology. The last time a challenger beat an incumbent was in 1992 before Internet use was widespread. By 1996 that had changed and both the incumbent [http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/websites/cg96/ Bill Clinton campaign] and the challenger [http://www.dolekemp96.org/main.htm Bob Dole campaign] had websites that look very simple by today's standards. The title text points out that one could just as easily say that incumbents with websites are unbeatable, until that precedent was broken in 2020.

 Also, Biden is the first president from the state of Delaware, thus he broke the "precedent" that Delawareans can't win. Randall then proceeds to combine these 2 facts to create a new precedent: Only Delawareans can defeat incumbents with a website.
-Note worthy: Before the 2024 election, no president has ever been re-elected after being impeached (only three officially with Nixon facing "inquiries"). Seeing as a president would have to very badly mess up, such as having an affair with a secretary or bugging high ranking officals offices, it would be extremly unlikely that the public would be in good standing with that candidate if they were to rerun for office. However in a (not very) suprising turn of events, even though Donald Trump faced not only an impeachment, but jail time, he won with a majority of vote in the 2024 election. Congratulations to President-Elect Donald Trump for breaking the impeachment curse!
+All the way up to the 2024 election, no president had ever been re-elected after being impeached. There were only ever three official impeachments, with Nixon facing "inquiries", but given that a president would have to very badly mess up (such as having an affair with a secretary or bugging high ranking officals offices) it would be thought extremly unlikely that the public would support such an individual should they seek to rerun for office, and he indeed failed to do so in 2020. However, even though Donald Trump had faced an impeachment (and now also possible jail time, for separate issues), he subsequently won with a majority of vote in 2024.

 |None of the two prior presidents who were impeached even ran for re-election. This was the first time this specific condition had even been tested.
 |Trump was impeached, ran and lost, so this test remained true at this point in history.
-This same test could have been proposed again for the 2024 election cycle, with the same candidate, but would have then been proven untrue in this later case.
+However come the 2024 election Trump ran again and won, so now this test is untrue.
