Biden was able to run on a "lesser evil" platform. He won because he wasn't Trump. Hillary or Harris could have won in 2020.

That and also he ran on a platform of "if you didn't vote for him you weren't black," so I'm sure that helped out. Probably a lot of suburban whites thought they'd leave the booth magically Trudeau'd up.

(Clearly I'm just making fun of Biden's statement with a little jab at Canadian Blackface and white kids, laugh about it it isn't that serious.)
