Granted I still think that's massively overstating Biden's level of responsibility in Trump winning in 2024. If Biden "failed" at that, so did everyone else who didn't want Trump elected. I don't think that should be the metric because there's so many variables outside of anyone's ability to control or even meaningfully influence, that it's an impossible bar to meet.
