Yes, he won by 80% while running unopposed. Typically, an incumbent wins 96%+ of the vote in an unopposed primary. When you've got 20% of your own party actively going to the polls to vote for "anyone but you" in an uncontested primary, that's a rough sign

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).
