I imagine an election with a 3rd candidate getting into the 30% range would end up taking a year to resolve.

I guess the bottom line is that Trump enjoys knowing he has leverage of a nuclear 3rd party threat and will certainly use that if things start going badly for him.
I don't think it'd be much different from 2020. With the fake electors, insurrection, bull crap.

Arizona, Wisconsin, Georvia, and Pennsylvania were all win by Biden/Harris with less than 50% of the vote.

Of note, Trump/Pence won North Carolina with less than 50%.
