You simply don't get 75 plus million votes as a Democrat running for President unless you've put together a broad and ideological diverse coalition.

The operative word in that sentence is temporarily.

[ cnn.com ]Opinion: Why the national security adviser's Covid-19 infection is a national security problem
With coronavirus casualties at sickening levels, Americans learned on Monday that no one is safe from Covid-19 -- not even the man who's supposed to be keeping Americans safe. News that US National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien has tested positive for the virus presents an immediate health risk within the walls of the White House while serving as a worrisome metaphor for the administration's coronavirus crisis management more generally. If the government couldn't keep a top-ranking official like O'Brien healthy, that doesn't instill confidence it can do the same for us.
