Of course, losing an election may be more lucrative for them - notwithstanding Cheeto's penchant for golfing on the taxpayer's dime, most actual election winners have to actually do things, not just speak at conferences.
At least Mark Finchem is keeping himself occupied now that he's out of office.
Of course, the way that he's doing isn't exactly constructive.

Election conspiracy movement grinds on as 2024 approaches
FRANKLIN, Tenn. (AP) — One by one, the presenters inside the crowded hotel ballroom shared their computer screens and promised to show how easy it is to hack into voting systems across the U.S.
Drawing gasps from the crowd, they highlighted theoretical vulnerabilities and problems from past elections. But instead of tailoring their efforts to improve election security, they argued that all voting machines should be eliminated — a message that was wrapped in conspiracies about elections being rigged to favor certain candidates.
“We are at war. The only thing that's not flying right now is bullets,” said Mark Finchem, a Republican candidate for secretary of state in Arizona last year who continues to contest his loss and was the final speaker of the daylong conference.
Finchem was among a group of Republican candidates running for governor, secretary of state or state attorney who disputed the outcome of the 2020 election and who lost in a clean sweep last November in important political battleground states, including Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Finchem can deny it all that he wants, but his election wasn't even close.
From the Arizona Secretary of State -
The people of Arizona were clear in their rejection of him.
