Christ. Typically incumbents aren’t even opposed. And Biden was unopposed as far as most Democrats were concerned this time. No one seriously primaries a sitting president on either side unless they want party immolation (see Kennedy v Carter or Reagan v Ford).

You're right. Typically incumbents aren't opposed, so we have a ton of examples of unopposed incumbent getting 96-100% of the vote, which is why it's concerning that he got 80% of the vote. And the other candidates weren't even on the ballot in most of the states where Biden failed to gain 92%+
