Probably this. Another reason that come to mind would be them trying to avoid addressing the pandemic? But it wouldn't make sense, they could have set this movie in 2010 or so, it didn't have to take place precisly in 2016, and even if it had, they have no reason to mention the election "en passant", sorta like a veiled criticism and trying to draw an association between two subjects, as you said.
