      dude beat trump the first time

      Barely. He won the popular vote by a smaller margin than Hillary did in 2016 and the few swing states that decided the outcome by a smaller margin than Trump did that year. This while being mostly known as the VP of a popular president.

      has been an excellent president

      No. Nowhere near as bad as the Mango Mussolini, of course, but he’s been the low end of mediocre at best. And the electorate remembers how disappointing the current president has been better than how awful the previous one was. It’s stupid and unfair, but that’s how it is.
