Covid money was largely spent under Trump. There was a colossal amount of waste and outright fraud, so we can't just hand-wave it away as saving lives.
Biden has spent far too much (trillions too much), and whether it's the Orwellian "Inflation Reduction Act", student loan debt, or Ukrainian aid we know that none of those help. Benefiting select companies by spending money you don't have is inflationary. People are upset about inflation. But what's really sinking Biden is that he's completely unaware of how mad people are.
That's one of my pet peeves. I frequently saw people blaming a single $1200 check to people in need, but PPP "loans" that had basically 0 requirements cost us $800 Billion with like 95% of them being forgiven. It was common occurrence to see people bragging about fraudulently buying luxury items with these during those times too.

Unlikely, but worst outcome would be..
Biden wins, passes away shortly after and we get Kamala. During 2016, Kamala could not get out of single digit approval ratings, she was PKd after Tulsi wrecked her for race baiting.
Not sure how the country would handle that
I wish it was realistic for her to get booted out of VP. Seems like she ran just to pad her resume and get a diversity checkmark on the books. That and the laughing at people being incarcerated for marijuana charges under her watch was so tone deaf
