He was running after 4 years of Trump. And after a primary and events in 2020 that got low-information voters believing democrats supported free healthcare/college, abolishing ICE, continuing covid protections, etc.
People who compare Biden to Clinton and Harris and see gender as the difference are missing the much more obvious difference in that Trump was the (chaotic) status quo. Every election except for Obama 2 has been a “this sucks, do something else”. Biden won, because he was something else, but he didn’t do nearly as well as he should have and he was cruising for a loss in 2024 even before his brain leaked live on stage.
And while that would point toward better odds for an uninspiring moderate, I do expect we’ll be in danger of vote suppression and manipulation and can’t trust simple “change” to push literally anyone over the finish line.
Biden turned the economy around and crafted some beautiful policies it was the low-information voters who couldn’t see that and believed that both parties are the same.
Biden ran almost the same campaign and got the most votes of any american presidential candidate ever.
