From what I read there is a consensus that Joe Biden will be the next president. He seems to be convinced that he won. The psychology behind all of this appears fairly obvious - taller people are typically seen as more physically formidable. In a Leadership Quarterly research paper on the subject, the authors said: "The advantage of taller candidates is potentially explained by perceptions associated with height: taller presidents are rated by experts as 'greater', and having more leadership and communication skills.
The rival Mr Trump hit particularly hard during the Republican primary was Jeb Bush , who, at 6ft 3ins, may have appeared like a physical as well as a political threat during the face-to-face debates.

Bornstein eventually revealed that Trump had dictated that fitness statement for his doctor to sign. In a group shot of G7 leaders at their meeting, Trump was placed next to host Prime Minister Justin Trudeau six-foot-two on the flat dais and it was impossible not to see that the American president was noticeably shorter than the PM, even as Trudeau widened his stance, as if shrinking down a bit so as to not antagonize the thin-skinned president.
