And on economics, I'd argue Trump is more vulnerable than Biden if the dems could get their comms/messaging regime into gear. Hit the Trump campaign with lines like this:

"Trump got us to 14.7% unemployment because he didn't listen to his medical experts telling him to invoke the defense production act at the beginning of the pandemic to mass-produce tests so that infections wouldn't grow beyond out ability to track them via testing, which necessitated the lockdowns that every state government ultimately did, creating massive unemployment that was worse than the 2008 crisis. If Trump comes back, he will continue to ignore his experts and make any future crisis worse as a result of his winging it."

"Trump added $8 trillion dollars to the national debt via massive government spending during a hot economy he inherited from Obama, which helped create the inflation we dealt with in 2021-2022. Trump added more to the national debt in 4 years than Obama or Bush Jr did in their respective 8 years with full wartime spending going on. If Trump comes back, he will add insane amounts of big government spending to our deficit and grow the national debt beyond $40T."

"Trump tried to start a war with Iran when he assassinated their equivalent of the chairman of joint chiefs of staff, which resulted in Iran going into wartime footing and increasing the militancy of their proxies like Hamas, the Houthis, and Hezbollah. If he comes back, he'll continue to chaotically try to start a war with Iran and China that would bog us down in years of expensive international violence."

Travis, the Dems need to hire you to do their messaging! But, realistically, I'm not sanguine about them changing their comms. As the Ragin' Cajun said concerning the Dems, "Everybody wants to be in Policy, nobody wants to be in Sales."
